Bug 177010 – net-fs/zfs-fuse - Zettabyte File System FUSE implementation

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Alex Elsayed 2007-05-04 09:02:42 UTC]

Gentoo has a reputation for being on the cutting edge,and ZFS has been making a lot of noise lately, so I browsed over to the zfs-fuse wiki and what do I find but  an ebuild. I tested it, it builds cleanly under both portage and paludis, and it seems quite stable. Perhaps this could be included in the tree, maybe masked?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Untar the archive wherever you put your repositories (/usr/local/portage/zfs-fuse for me) and add it to PORTDIR_OVERLAY
2.emerge -av zfs-fuse
3.Read the doc that is given in the post-install einfo's to learn how to use ZFS

Please, attach the ebuild here as plaintext...

Okay. I'll also include the necessary patches.

naaah... thanks alot for the ebuild, I'm going to test'n'commit it as soon as i can :)

[Comment 8 Andreas Zuber 2007-06-25 09:24:32 UTC]

They have now a initscript in the mercurial repo: http://www.wizy.org/mercurial/zfs-fuse/trunk?f=79c0e95a9290;file=contrib/zfs-fuse.initd

[Comment 9 Christian Parpart (RETIRED) 2007-06-25 15:28:43 UTC]

well, looks like we need an init script as well, don't we?
I still need to read the guide in detail, but else would stard zfs-fuse (or run-zfs-fuse) if not an init script?

So far I added the ebuilds into the tree. Please provide me with as much feedback as needed, as I'd like to get it rockin'solid anytime soon ;)

Regards,
Christian Parpart.

/etc/init.d/zfs-fuse

Still no init script and wizy.org is down all the time.
Here is mine. It's dump simple but seems to work.

[Comment 11 Christian Parpart (RETIRED) 2007-09-02 09:33:54 UTC]

a little later, but please check out the rc script i've committed. just add it to boot rc level. it should work fine.

however, i'm a little concerned about the development process a little, as no real updates has been made yet, but let's be a little more optimistic ;)

[Comment 12 Christian Parpart (RETIRED) 2007-09-02 09:35:42 UTC]

besides, do you know where to get the man-pages legally? so that we can include them?

zfs-fuse-0.4.0_beta1-no_prefetch.patch


Disable zfs's prefetch. This increases read performance quite a lot. This actually makes zfs-fuse usable on my low spec system (700 Mhz P3, 256 Mb). Taken from:
http://groups.google.com/group/zfs-fuse/tree/browse_frm/month/2007-09/326edc29c03ca42a?rnum=1&_done=%2Fgroup%2Fzfs-fuse%2Fbrowse_frm%2Fmonth%2F2007-09%3F#doc_326edc29c03ca42a

How about calling 'zfs umount -f -a' before killing the daemon ?

Stupid me. Wrong and brain dead file. Need some sleep. Sorry.

This one should work ;)
