> Recent work enables the creation of ZFS images by makefs. This makes it easier to build ZFS-based VM images. makefs' ZFS support includes the ability to create multiple datasets, with each mapped to a directory in the input file hierarchy. Many ZFS features are not supported however, as the implementation provides only what is needed to get reproducible root pools.
Is ZFS aware of the FreeBSD Page Cache to avoid double buffering in ARC/L2ARC ? Or is it planned for future release ?
- trasz 4y agoI think the double caching is still an issue - on both Solaris, FreeBSD, and Linux - but I don’t see how that’s related. The reason for using makefs for this is to 1. Make it possible to create images without root, and 2. To make them reproducible.
