Refresh the existing RPM packaging to conform to the 'Fedora
Packaging Guidelines'. This includes adopting the kmods2
packaging standard which is used fod kmods distributed by
rpmfusion for Fedora/RHEL.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelineshttp://rpmfusion.org/Packaging/KernelModules/Kmods2
While the spec files have been entirely rewritten from a
user perspective the only major changes are:
* The Fedora packages now have a build dependency on the
rpmfusion repositories. The generic kmod packages also
have a new dependency on kmodtool-1.22 but it is bundled
with the source rpm so no additional packages are needed.
* The kernel binary module packages have been renamed from
zfs-modules-* to kmod-zfs-* as specificed by kmods2.
* The is now a common kmod-zfs-devel-* package in addition
to the per-kernel devel packages. The common package
contains the development headers while the per-kernel
package contains kernel specific build products.

According to the FHS. Testing scripts and examples which are all
architecture independent should be installed in a subdirectory
under /usr/share.

In the interest of maintaining only one udev helper to give vdevs
user friendly names, the zpool_id and zpool_layout infrastructure
is being retired. They are superseded by vdev_id which incorporates
all the previous functionality.
Documentation for the new vdev_id(8) helper and its configuration
file, vdev_id.conf(5), can be found in their respective man pages.
Several useful example files are installed under /etc/zfs/.
/etc/zfs/vdev_id.conf.alias.example
/etc/zfs/vdev_id.conf.multipath.example
/etc/zfs/vdev_id.conf.sas_direct.example

The idea behind the '-c' flag is to cleanup everything from a
previous test run which might cause the test script to fail.
This should also include removing the previously loaded module.
This makes it a little easier to run 'zconfig.sh -c', however
remember this is a test script and it will take all of your
other zpools offline for the purposes of the test. This notion
has also been extended to the default 'make check' behavior.
Eleven new zpool configurations were added to allow testing of various
failure cases. The first 5 zpool configurations leverage the 'faulty'
md device type which allow us to simuluate IO errors at the block layer.
The last 6 zpool configurations leverage the scsi_debug module provided
by modern kernels. This device allows you to create virtual scsi
devices which are backed by a ram disk. With this setup we can verify
the full IO stack by injecting faults at the lowest layer. Both methods
of fault injection are important to verifying the IO stack.
The zfs code itself also provides a mechanism for error injection
via the zinject command line tool. While we should also take advantage
of this appraoch to validate the code it does not address any of the
Linux integration issues which are the most concerning. For the
moment we're trusting that the upstream Solaris guys are running
zinject and would have caught internal zfs logic errors.
Currently, there are 6 r/w test cases layered on top of the 'faulty'
md devices. They include 3 writes tests for soft/transient errors,
hard/permenant errors, and all writes error to the device. There
are 3 matching read tests for soft/transient errors, hard/permenant
errors, and fixable read error with a write. Although for this last
case zfs doesn't do anything special.
The seventh test case verifies zfs detects and corrects checksum
errors. In this case one of the drives is extensively damaged and
by dd'ing over large sections of it. We then ensure zfs logs the
issue and correctly rebuilds the damage.
The next test cases use the scsi_debug configuration to injects error
at the bottom of the scsi stack. This ensures we find any flaws in the
scsi midlayer or our usage of it. Plus it stresses the device specific
retry, timeout, and error handling outside of zfs's control.
The eighth test case is to verify that the system correctly handles an
intermittent device timeout. Here the scsi_debug device drops 1 in N
requests resulting in a retry either at the block level. The ZFS code
does specify the FAILFAST option but it turns out that for this case
the Linux IO stack with still retry the command. The FAILFAST logic
located in scsi_noretry_cmd() does no seem to apply to the simply
timeout case. It appears to be more targeted to specific device or
transport errors from the lower layers.
The ninth test case handles a persistent failure in which the device
is removed from the system by Linux. The test verifies that the failure
is detected, the device is made unavailable, and then can be successfully
re-add when brought back online. Additionally, it ensures that errors
and events are logged to the correct places and the no data corruption
has occured due to the failure.
By default the zpool_layout command would always use the slot
number assigned by Linux when generating the zdev.conf file.
This is a reasonable default there are cases when it makes
sense to remap the slot id assigned by Linux using your own
custom mapping.
This commit adds support to zpool_layout to provide a custom
slot mapping file. The file contains in the first column the
Linux slot it and in the second column the custom slot mapping.
By passing this map file with '-m map' to zpool_config the
mapping will be applied when generating zdev.conf.
Additionally, two sample mapping have been added which reflect
different ways to map the slots in the dragon drawers.
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 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.
