apt-get install zfsutils

Two weeks ago I wrote about how I manage to install ZFS utilities on my Debian GNU/kFreeBSD system. It was a very ugly hack, but things have evolved very positively:


  • The kernel panic problem with ZFS is now fixed
  • I helped porting the ZFS utilities from FreeBSD, and the Debian GNU/kFreeBSD developers were very interested in it, and validated my work. There is now a zfsutils package.


So if you want ZFS support in your Debian GNU/kFreeBSD, now you just need:


apt-get install zfsutils


Enjoy :-)
