With the update to onnv_141 how minor devices were created and removed for ZVOL was substantially changed. The updated system is much more tightly integrated with Solaris's /dev/ filesystem. This is great for Solaris but bad for Linux. This patch keeps as much of those changes as possible which as useful for Linux. But it also reverts back to use the old system of explicit minor node creation via a decicated ioctl(). This worked well in zfs-0.4.9 and it should continue to work well. |

Native ZFS for Linux! ZFS is an advanced file system and volume manager which was originally developed for Solaris. It has been successfully ported to FreeBSD and now there is a functional Linux ZFS kernel port too. The port currently includes a fully functional and stable SPA, DMU, and ZVOL with a ZFS Posix Layer (ZPL) on the way!
Documentation for building, configuring, and using ZFS can be found at: http://wiki.github.com/behlendorf/zfs/
