64bit
Anyway, I think I’ll rather wait for the official upgrade.

Hmm, I wasn’t anticipating that supfile to remove everything, just update it to that particular branch.

I haven’t tried using ZFS inside VMWare workstation, I have loaded zfs.ko on a ESX virtual machine though, and that at least didn’t panic the kernel.

Are you running a 32bit or 64bit version of FreeBSD? For ZFS, both Sun and the FreeBSD team strongly recommend a 64bit platform.

Hi,

Ok, what has happened:
1. I used your csup file and suprisingly csup removed all files under /usr/src Don’t know why csup did this …
2. Anyway I reloaded source via sysinstall, then used almost the same csup file, couple of modified lines as follows:
“*default base=/var/db
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_7″
3. Then did csup again, them make stuff … waiting for couple of hours
4. I am using BSD on a VirutalBox so assuming it caused kernel panic and reboot.
5. Though I could login and voila zfs upgrade -v shows version 13.

So, thank you very much for your help. It seems a simple process but takes a long time and not so sure I want to repeat it on my prod system.

Thanks.

@gabor
Hey Gabor,

Here is my csup file:

*default host=cvsup10.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
src-all         release=cvs tag=RELENG_7

After I ran csup to update /usr/src, I did a

$ make buildworld && make buildkernel && make installworld && make installkernel

After the reboot, I did a mergemaster (unrelated to zfs though), then I ran

$ zfs upgrade

When the kernel loads the zfs.ko module, it should say what version it is. Also, you should see this in /usr/src/UPDATING:

20090520:
        Update ZFS to version 13. ZFS users will need to re-build
        and install both kernel and world simultaneously in order
        for the ZFS tools to work. Existing pools will continue to work
        without upgrade. If a pool is upgraded it will no longer be
        usable by older kernel revs. ZFS send / recv between
        pool version 6 and pool version 13 is not supported.

If you don’t see that, then you are pulling down the wrong branch

Keep in mind, I’m using RELEASE_7, not 7_2, which means I’m following a more current codebase. The big difference is there are no freebsd-update binaries available when you do this. Not a big deal for me since I only maintain this one server at home, and I use a custom kernel anyway.

Hope this help!
