Well, I read that post before asking here, but it doesn't really answer my question. Ideas of what might or should work are mentioned, but its less clear of what actually does work. In your comment you mentioned, that you haven't really used zfs-win. Have you tried it since then? Any success?
I've downloaded and installed win-zfs and Dokan (FUSE for windows) and have tried it, but the absolute lack of zfs-win documentation makes it rather useless for non-programmers. Its also not clear, if pool version 28 is supported at all, as the utility was written in 2010. The zfs-win google group is empty. This is the only 'documentation':
- Code: Select all
usage:
mount <mountpoint> <dataset> <pool ..>
list <pool ..>
examples:
zfs-win.exe mount "m:\" "rpool/ROOT/opensolaris" "\\.\PhysicalDrive1" "\\.\PhysicalDrive2"
zfs-win.exe list "Virtual Machine-flat.vmdk"
Using: zfs-win.exe list "\\.\PhysicalDrive1" does not find the zfs pool. I have Windows on 'PhysicalDrive0', a USB drive with a zfs pool named 'Zdata' on 'PhysicalDrive1'. How would I mount that using the above syntax?
More specific to Zevo is the question, if any of the suggested methods would work at all, as there is a disclaimer by Greenbytes, that Zevo zfs pools may not be directly interchangable with Solaris or other implementations of zfs. (I suppose it should be safe to access it read only, though.) The only other alternative then would be OS X with Zevo running in a VM on Windows, which is not officially supported by Apple.
