Description Graham Perrin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-08-31 02:58:08 UTC
Please consider adding a brief package message to cover key points. 

Maybe something along these lines: 

* end user preparedness to build and install from source, should the need arise

* caution if intending to use the module with a boot pool on FreeBSD 12.⋯

* create, activate then boot a new boot environment before editing 
  /boot/loader.conf

* edition of /boot/loader.conf i.e. 

zfs_load="NO"
openzfs_load="YES"

hi Ryan

this would be a great help. And we should also mention where users should report bugs - in BZ? in the ZoF repo? or upstream in the ZoL repo?

I'm happy to commit this, if that helps.

Thank you, 

(In reply to Dave Cottlehuber from comment #1)

In lieu of: 


- remove zfs_load=...


– maybe advise a change from YES to NO. 

To have the zfs_load line readily available will be slightly more foolproof, should a person somehow dig himself or herself into a hole.

FreeBSD 12.⋯
============

Whilst also thinking about this use case, and possible advice to change YES to NO where /boot/loader.conf includes this:


opensolaris_load="YES"


– I stumbled across (arm64) bug 240478 comment 9:

I didn't mention it in the package messages, but you can simply report it to the openzfs/zfs repo we build the port from directly.
