When libzfs checks if the module is loaded or not, it currently reads /proc/modules and searches for a line matching the module name. Unfortunately, if the module is included in the kernel itself (built-in module), then /proc/modules won't list it, so libzfs will wrongly conclude that the module is not loaded, thus making all ZFS userspace tools unusable. Fortunately, all loaded modules appear as directories in /sys/module, even built-in ones. Thus we can use /sys/module in lieu of /proc/modules to fix the issue. As a bonus, the code for checking becomes much simpler. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Issue #851 |

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!
$ ./configure
$ make pkg
To copy the kernel code inside your kernel source tree for builtin compilation:
$ ./configure --enable-linux-builtin --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-...
$ ./copy-builtin /usr/src/linux-...
Full documentation for building, configuring, and using ZFS can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
