[gentoo-user] why zfs and friends want to update to 9999?

not done the update till I can figure out what is happening here -- particularly if I need a rescue cd which is using zfs 0.7.1. Thanks in advance for any ideas. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici cov

Re: [gentoo-user] zfs emerge failure (solved)

Re: [gentoo-user] initial compile time

e, and letting it take its merry old time. Gentoo's gotten good enough over the years that this almost invariably works. I'm not criticizing your speedup plans - by all means, have fun - but if you're just starting out in Gentoo, be aware that these speedups aren't necessarily a slam-dunk. John Blinka

Re: [gentoo-user] zfs emerge failure

k that's the source of the problem. I think it would be informative if I could somehow see exactly what commands are being run when the error occurs. Is there a way of doing that? John

[gentoo-user] zfs emerge failure

uld figure out what it's doing when it's looking for UTS_RELEASE, but no luck with that either. Nothing that I can find in Bugzilla, either, although that could be due to inexperience in using it. Any idea what could be going on, or how I could go about debugging it more effectively? Thanks, John Blinka

Re: [gentoo-user] Install on ZFS

I would like to know which cd has zfs support. I could not find one, so I wrote some catalyst stuff to make an install cd with zfs support, but it would be nice if I would not have to do that, a fair bit of work. -- Your life is like a penny.
