At this time of writing, they are spl-0.6. and zfs-0.6.Īt this point, it is assumed you have qemu installed, have obtained a slackware64-current/14.0 DVD, and have downloaded spl and zfs tarballs to your host system. The source code tarballs for these are at. The first, spl, is "Solaris Porting Layer" and must be installed on the system before zfs can be compiled. There are two packages involved: spl and zfs. The ZFSonLinux packages are not included in slackware at this time. For a DVD image file, pass the image file as the qemu cdrom device. For an actual DVD, you can pass your DVD device (e.g., /dev/sr0) as the qemu cdrom device. You can obtain a slackware DVD image using a torrent, buy the DVD from, or generate your own DVD image file using the mirror script. This was tested at slackware64-current = slackware64 14.0rc4. In this article, we use a slackware64-current DVD image file as the qemu cdrom device media for the installation of the slackware guest. To help manage your own local slackware mirror and generate your own CD and DVD slackware installers, see. Having a local mirror makes it easier to upgrade to slackware64-current or to patches/* in a release.
There is also an irc channel on, #zfsonlinux, for discussion of issues and help.Īlthough not required, it is helpful to keep a local mirror of slackware64 on your system. See the web site and the issues tracker for an idea about the current issues.

This article just presents an example of how to get started with ZFS on slackware.Īt this time of writing, ZFSonLinux is at "release candidate" (version 0.6.0-rc11) development stage, and many issues can occur. This article isn't going to go into any detail on actually using ZFS or what kinds of installation options and settings might be optimal. If you have a processor that supports Intel VT-x or AMD AMD-V virtualization acceleration (try modprobe kvm-intel or modprobe kvm-amd), then use the slackbuild for qemu-kvm.
#Osx mounting openzfs disk install
It is recommended that you install qemu and learn how to use it to test a ZFS installation before you decide to use it on real hardware.
In this article, an example is shown of how to install slackware64 14.0 onto a ZFS root filesystem (zfs-root) inside a QEMU virtual machine for testing purposes. If you have heard about the ZFS filesystem and you're curious to try it out, then you can try it on slackware64, thanks to the project!
