CFT for FreeBSD + ZoL

[kris at ixsystems.com]

FreeBSD Developers,

 

We're pleased to make available images allowing testing of FreeBSD using ZFS
on Linux.  During this development cycle, the ZoL code has been made
portable, and available in the ports tree as sysutils/zol and
sysutils/zol-kmod, for userland/kernel bits respectively. While some have
used these for testing, we felt it necessary to generate some installation
images which are an easier method of getting up and started using ZoL. These
images are built against FreeBSD 12-stable and 13-HEAD and will install a
world / kernel with the base system ZFS disabled and the sysutils/zol ports
pre-installed. 

 

It is possible to these with both UFS or ZFS on root, and we're looking for
feedback on any stability issues or other regressions that you see vs the
legacy ZFS in base.
