I'm a FreeBSD developer sitting on a backlog of about a hundred ZFS patches that I want to push into OpenZFS. But I've never been able to build and test on Illumos. I've spent the last two days trying, but to no avail. Here's what I've tried:
* Booting all three isos from http://omnios.omniti.com/wiki.php/Installation on KVM. They all crash. I see a row of dots at the top of the screen, and suddenly my VM reboots. * Booting the Vagrant file from that same website. But before I got too far, Will Andrews informed me that it's missing some critical parts of the toolchain * Booting an OpenIndiana Hipster 20151003 iso in KVM. But it crashes just like OmniOS. * Booting a custom Vagrant box made by Will Andrews in VirtualBox. I got the furthest with this one. But sshd won't start, because it's linked against the wrong version of OpenSSL. I tried upgrading using onu, but that failed because something was trying to resolve "ipkg.sfbay". Google tells me that that system was a private server behind Sun's firewall five years ago. What shall I do? Is the KVM crash a known issue? Is there an OmniOS r20151016 vagrant box somewhere? Is it ok to just blindly submit my patches without even compile testing? -Alan _______________________________________________ developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.open-zfs.org/mailman/listinfo/developer
