OpenZFS Developers,
The FreeBSD project is attempting to switch its upstream source of ZFS
from the illumos repo to ZFS-on-Linux. Since there is not really a
shared point in history to try to make this switch commit-by-commit, it
was decided to attempt to just port ZFS-on-Linux over to FreeBSD. In the
process, creating an OS Dependent directory to separate out source files
that are specific to Linux or FreeBSD.
If anyone is available to test these images, or review the code changes
in the repo (github URL below), your help would be much appreciated.

FreeBSD Developers,
We're pleased to make available images allowing testing of FreeBSD using
ZFS on Linux. During this development cycle, the ZoL code has been made
portable, and available in the ports tree as sysutils/zol and
sysutils/zol-kmod, for userland/kernel bits respectively. While some
have used these for testing, we felt it necessary to generate some
installation images which are an easier method of getting up and started
using ZoL. These images are built against FreeBSD 12-stable and 13-HEAD
and will install a world / kernel with the base system ZFS disabled and
the sysutils/zol ports pre-installed.
It is possible to these with both UFS or ZFS on root, and we're looking
for feedback on any stability issues or other regressions that you see
vs the legacy ZFS in base.
FreeBSD 12-Stable

FreeBSD HEAD
https://pkg.trueos.org/iso/freebsd13-zol/
Please report issues on our GitHub tracker at:

Thanks and happy testing!
