This shim layer makes -it possible to run Solaris kernel code in the Linux kernel with -relatively minimal modification. - -This can be particularly useful when you want to track upstream -Solaris development closely and do not want the overhead of -maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux -primitives. - -You need this if you want to run ZFS on Linux. - -NOTE: You'll need the kernel source code to be able to compile this. -This package is kernel dependent, so you'll need to recompile it for -every new kernel you choose to run. - -If you're building this for a kernel that isn't currently running, -you'll need to pass what that kernel's 'uname -r' output will be -to the KERN variable when running the build script, e.g. KERN=4.14.9 |
