Glad to be providing "interesting"... I guess? ;)

Anyhoo, is that sufficient? I can pull the KDK, however, I've only got one machine at the moment (an old laptop, the iMac is being repaired :roll: ) and I'm hesitant to get too adventurous with the machine I need for work next week!

The delete panic is quite surprising - not sure how that can happen, but we can shore it up a bit.

The boot one seems to be related to looking for symbols. Perhaps kernel memory address issue

OK I see, BigSur will only work with keepsyms on. But I think I at least stopped it from panic if it isn't on.

I tried something to fix the big-rm problem, but I'm not confident it will fix anything

Testing the 10th revision...

No panic on boot:
Code: Select all
% sudo nvram boot-args
Password:
nvram: Error getting variable - 'boot-args': (iokit/common) data was not found


So... that is good!

Just preparing the "big rm test"... wil report back after that.

Cheers!

Something is busted...

Code: Select all
% sudo zpool import -a         
The ZFS modules are not loaded.
Try running '/sbin/kextload zfs.kext' as root to load them.
% sudo /sbin/kextload /Library/Extensions/zfs.kext
Executing: /usr/bin/kmutil load -p /Library/Extensions/zfs.kext
% sudo zpool import -a                           
The ZFS modules are not loaded.
Try running '/sbin/kextload zfs.kext' as root to load them.

Run dmesg after boot, you might find:

Code: Select all
spl_loadsymbols: keepsyms=1 missing, probably unable to locate symbols
spl_loadsymbols: failed to locate '_vm_page_speculative_count'


BigSur now requires keepsyms=1

Ahh... right. Ok. I just rebooted with keepsyms=1 and the kexts are loaded. I'll veryify dmesg that right after I run a "big rm" (and turn keepsyms off).

Ok, so, I just deleted >450,000 files and no panic. I'm just going to prepare to run that test again, but initial indications are actually good.

@lundman the "big rm" panic seems to be fixed. Just ran my test case through a couple of times with no panic. Good stuff!
