The target system is a Mac Pro 3.7 GHz Quad Core E5, with 128 GB RAM (OWC upgrade kit).
Upgrading from 1.4.5 to 1.5.2 follows the written guidelines (pools exported, run uninstall-complete.sh as root), and for good measure I rebooted. The installation of 1.5.2 goes smoothly until the end ("Running Package Scripts" which appears to be activating the newly installed kernel extension(s)). At this point, the installation hangs, with nothing interesting in the install.log, except a mention of ACL issue. As the installer continues to hang, I start to see "vmem waiting for 2202009600 sized alloc" - this message repeats, and is never resolved (i've waiting up to 30 minutes). This message originates within spl/spl-vmem.c, but this files hasn't changes since the 1.4.5 release (tagged 1.4.5 on Oct 18, 2015; last modified Aug 27, 2015).
I'm wondering if this has to do with changes outside of
- Code: Select all
vmem_xalloc(vmem_t *vmp, size_t size, size_t align_arg, size_t phase,size_t nocross, void *minaddr, void *maxaddr, int vmflag)
- Code: Select all
size_t size
Upon failed installation, I have to boot into safe mode, re-run uninstall-complete.sh, and then re-install 1.4.5 (which as I mentioned is working just fine).
Thanks for reading, and any advice
