* Minimal libshare infrastructureBrian Behlendorf2011-02-041-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ZFS even under Solaris does not strictly require libshare to be available. The current implementation attempts to dlopen() the library to access the needed symbols. If this fails libshare support is simply disabled. This means that on Linux we only need the most minimal libshare implementation. In fact just enough to prevent the build from failing. Longer term we can decide if we want to implement a libshare library like Solaris. At best this would be an abstraction layer between ZFS and NFS/SMB. Alternately, we can drop libshare entirely and directly integrate ZFS with Linux's NFS/SMB. Finally the bare bones user-libshare.m4 test was dropped. If we do decide to implement libshare at some point it will surely be as part of this package so the check is not needed.
* Autoconf selinux supportBrian Behlendorf2011-01-281-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If libselinux is detected on your system at configure time link against it. This allows us to use a library call to detect if selinux is enabled and if it is to pass the mount option: "context=\"system_u:object_r:file_t:s0" For now this is required because none of the existing selinux policies are aware of the zfs filesystem type. Because of this they do not properly enable xattr based labeling even though zfs supports all of the required hooks. Until distro's add zfs as a known xattr friendly fs type we must use mntpoint labeling. Alternately, end users could modify their existing selinux policy with a little guidance.
* Add FAILFAST supportBrian Behlendorf2010-10-121-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ZFS works best when it is notified as soon as possible when a device failure occurs. This allows it to immediately start any recovery actions which may be needed. In theory Linux supports a flag which can be set on bio's called FAILFAST which provides this quick notification by disabling the retry logic in the lower scsi layers. That's the theory at least. In practice is turns out that while the flag exists you oddly have to set it with the BIO_RW_AHEAD flag. And even when it's set it you may get retries in the low level drivers decides that's the right behavior, or if you don't get the right error codes reported to the scsi midlayer. Unfortunately, without additional kernels patchs there's not much which can be done to improve this. Basically, this just means that it may take 2-3 minutes before a ZFS is notified properly that a device has failed. This can be improved and I suspect I'll be submitting patches upstream to handle this.
* Support custom build directories and move includesBrian Behlendorf2010-09-082-9/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of the neat tricks an autoconf style project is capable of is allow configurion/building in a directory other than the source directory. The major advantage to this is that you can build the project various different ways while making changes in a single source tree. For example, this project is designed to work on various different Linux distributions each of which work slightly differently. This means that changes need to verified on each of those supported distributions perferably before the change is committed to the public git repo. Using nfs and custom build directories makes this much easier. I now have a single source tree in nfs mounted on several different systems each running a supported distribution. When I make a change to the source base I suspect may break things I can concurrently build from the same source on all the systems each in their own subdirectory. wget -c http://github.com/downloads/behlendorf/zfs/zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz tar -xzf zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz cd zfs-x-y-z ------------------------- run concurrently ---------------------- <ubuntu system> <fedora system> <debian system> <rhel6 system> mkdir ubuntu mkdir fedora mkdir debian mkdir rhel6 cd ubuntu cd fedora cd debian cd rhel6 ../configure ../configure ../configure ../configure make make make make make check make check make check make check This change also moves many of the include headers from individual incude/sys directories under the modules directory in to a single top level include directory. This has the advantage of making the build rules cleaner and logically it makes a bit more sense.
* Add initial autoconf productsBrian Behlendorf2010-08-311-0/+496
| | | | | | | Add the initial products from autogen.sh. These products will be updated incrementally after this point as development occurs. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]>
* Add build systemBrian Behlendorf2010-08-316-0/+292
Add autoconf style build infrastructure to the ZFS tree. This includes autogen.sh, configure.ac, m4 macros, some scripts/*, and makefiles for all the core ZFS components.
