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. |

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!
To build packages for your distribution, first build and install the SPL packages http://wiki.github.com/behlendorf/spl/ then:
$ ./configure $ make pkg
Full documentation for building, configuring, and using ZFS can be found at: http://wiki.github.com/behlendorf/zfs/
