Should Zevo work ok with Mavericks?

Post by zigmoo » Tue Jun 11, 2013 9:50 am

Hello Zevo Folks,

As a longtime Zevo Silver user, I'm wondering if Zevo CE or Zevo Silver should function ok with the Mavericks Developer Preview for use on external volumes (I wouldn't expect it to work for a boot volume, of course).

I've grown so accustomed to the security and safety of keeping my photo libraries on ZFS volumes, the thought of going back to HFS+ makes me cringe...

I'm about to install the Mavericks Developer Preview and was wondering if anyone might have crossed this bridge ahead of me.

Thanks in advance,

Jason

It does not work with Mavericks, the log shows many failed to load and start failed for the kext file. The loading errors started with this little error...

Welp, either GreenBytes will fix it or Zevo is dead. I'm guessing the latter.

MacZFS is so far behind zevo I would have to destroy and remake the pool just to check if it would mount let alone actually work.

Are you talking about MacZFS release version http://code.google.com/p/maczfs/ or MacZFS experimental generation https://github.com/zfs-osx

The experimental generation is using ZFS on Linux as upstream and is not "behind" ZEVO per se, although it is less stable of course. ZEVO file-based pools are importable.

I could try the experimental version if it will import.

As I said, I only think ZEVO file-based vdevs work at the moment. We still need the experimental generation tested with Mavericks though, regardless of ZEVO compatibility.

I will think about the experimental version. Unfortunately I have to compile both parts (spl and zfs) and I still don't have Xcode 5 installed. It is best to take this to the chatter on maczfs.org https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgr ... /zfs-macos where they have more than 1 mac and can do the job on a faster setup (internal drive). It literally took 15min to install 1 update after it downloaded.
