Maybe they've fixed this bug recently.  I just uploaded a new SVN
snapshot to experimental (9.0~svn228246-1), can you try?

Hi Steven,

Please don't add unrelated information to bug reports.  If you found a
new bug, you can file it, or we can discuss it in the mailing list(s).

I replaced the CC to BTS with debian-bsd.

That might be, yes.  Is kfreebsd-9 available in boot menu?

Current zfsutils only works with kfreebsd 9.0 or 8.3 snapshots.  I
added an isinstallable script in zfsutils-udeb to prevent it from
being installed on 8.2, but apparently it's not working.  I don't know
why.

Perhaps you can find out what's wrong?

Okay sorry, some of that I ought to file separate bugs for, but
regarding this bug I was really trying to say:

* I managed to install to a new ZFS root under kfreebsd 8.2, upgrade to
kfreebsd 9 and still boot it;  so what did we do differently for
Christoph to have this issue?

* how did Christoph create his zpool and ZFS root filesystem?  because
for me this seemed broken in recent d-i daily images, due to the wrong
zfsutils being included;

* I'm curious, did Christoph actually boot with kfreebsd 8.2 before
installing kfreebsd 9?  or did he install kfreebsd 9 sometime during the
install and try to boot with that kernel first?

Thanks,

zfsutils removed a few binary packages recently, these are not out of

That's called “out of date” until removal.

If you are in a hurry and can't wait for the semi-automatic decruft
sessions, file a bug to get them removed.

Hard to say.  It's probably just not reproducible every time, or
depends on factors that can't be easily controlled.

IMHO our best bet right now is try latest 9.0 snapshot, and if that's
still broken then try setting vfs.zfs.debug=1 and watch the output.

Yes. It's badly broken right now (for many different reasons), I'm
surprised he could finish the install too.

However kernels should operate on best-effort basis.  If there's
enough information for other kfreebsd versions to boot, there should
be for 9.0 too.

Some are NBS because soname was bumped (0 -> 1), and the -dev ones are NBS
because they've been intentionally removed since they're not usable for
external applications to link with.

We can't wait for automated removal because of the ongoing transition from
kfreebsd-8 to kfreebsd-9, which breaks ZFS userland ABI (see #648744) and
therefore migration of zfsutils needs to be coordinated.

Thanks!

I know.  Migration needs to happen at the same time as kfreebsd-9,
neither earlier not later.  Unfortunately package relationships can't
be used, so I took the manual approach.

new ZFS installs completely broken in Wheezy/Sid

2011-12-11 Thread Robert Millan
My current summary:

1- kfreebsd-8 images can't currently be used to install *anything*
when zfsutils-udeb 8.3 is being used, i.e. when they fetch their
packages from sid.  It seems the default is still zfsutils-udeb 8.2
for debian-cd images (netinst, businesscard) but not for netboot.

2- kfreebsd-9 images can't currently be used to install Wheezy (which
is the default AFAICT), because:

2.1- Last stage of the installer is unable to find
kfreebsd-image-9-amd64 package. Will be fixed when kfreebsd-9
migrates.

2.2- zfsutils 8.2 in /target with a kfreebsd-9 runtime breaks
grub-install (even if zfsutils-udeb is 8.3). Will be fixed when
zfsutils 8.3 migrates.

2.3- /boot/zfs/zpool.cache is NOT present!! No idea why this
happens, but potentially it could also break installed systems (since
they attempt to boot using outdated /boot/zfs/zpool.cache that was
generated with older ZFS version).  Could this be related to #651624 ?

Actually, this is much worse.  Even 8.3 zfsutils (or zfsutils-udeb)
has the same problem (it confuses a partition with its container), the
only difference is that zfsutils 8.2 prints broken "zpool status"
output, whereas zfsutils 8.3 doesn't.  Breakage in 8.3 can be exposed

Some "ZFS on root" documentation suggests that after creating a pool
you should export it and import it to flush zpool.cache.  This needs
to be verified.  I put it in partman-zfs so it's not forgotten.

For the record, the symptoms of this are that /dev/zvol/* device nodes
aren't being created, and therefore creating a pool and new file
systems doesn't make new devices appear in partman GUI.

That's exactly the problem I had when running zfsutils 8.3 with the 8.2
kernel. You can reproduce that by just installing the newer utils on a
Squeeze system. I think I even reported that in the zfsutils threads
from a while ago.

Back then I assumed that was quite intentional as upgrading to a 8.3
kernel solved the problem. That's why we added breaks conditions to the
package back then. Aside of this problem there didn't seem to be a hard
(i.e. API or ABI) incompatibility which would have caused a crash or so.

TTOMK all break conditions are in place, but these don't cover all
possible combinations presented by D-I.

The isinstallable script at least ought to be working.  Any idea
what's wrong with that?

zfsutils is not a required module, it's supposed to be optional (just
like partman-zfs).

It seems that the "zpool import" hack I introduced in the process of
fixing #651720 was picking up remnants of a previous pool with the
same name, which was indeed broken. I worked around it by creating a
clean pool on ada0 and then destroying it.

The fix I'm committing to partman-zfs will use GUIDs, avoiding this problem.

Did you mean 8.3?  That's what I see the latest netinst/businesscard
images try to use, regardless of which kernel is used during install.
Your .isinstallable script is right, but it's being ignored.  Maybe
because zfsutils is considered a 'required' installer module, and not an
optional user choice from the menu.  Instead, it's just using the latest
available version from the install media.

Yep, that's what I was seeing -- unless I downgrade to zfsutils-udeb 8.2
whilst in the installer, then going back into partman.

Looks like zfsutils 8.3 still has Breaks in place for 8.1/8.2 kernels,
since 8.3~svn226546-3, so I guess it is safe to migrate to testing, and
bug #648744 is unnecessary?

zfsutils-udeb doesn't use Breaks, because the 8.2 and 9.0 images are
must both be present, so...

partman-zfs and zfsutils 8.3 both get installed without a choice,
instead of being listed in the menu of optional installer modules.  I
don't know why.  It sounds like the .isinstallable feature is only
supposed to hide items from that menu?

I just tried another install using partman-zfs 16 and kfreebsd-8, which
allows zpool/volumes (v15) to be created with zfsutils 8.3 and it
generates a zpool.cache, but partman is still not listing any volumes as
mentioned before.

If that issue could be fixed somehow, maybe it would be unnecessary to
try to include zfstils-udeb 8.2 in the installer?
