Discussion regarding the zfs-macOS-2.2.3 release

Hi!
I've humbly posted my point of view there https://openzfsonosx.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=3925, so others that are not on Github can participate. 🙂

[lundman]

Great, I'll keep going til 10.9

[lundman]

I believe that completes it. From the sounds of it, it might be enough to release:
10.9 Mavericks
10.13 High Sierra
10.15 Catalina
and one release with x86 and arm. Maybe Monterey for early, or Ventura for most used.

[nullpointerninja]

Yes, Monterey would be nice for us still using a Mac Pro 2013 since it’s the last officially supported version.

I made my basic trials in 10.9, 10.11 and 10.14.
Ok in 10.11 and 10.14.
I remind you that for 10.9:

• zfs.fs has to be in /System/Library/Filesystems instead of /Library/Filesystems to avoid the "incompatible disk" warning
• in /usr/local/zfs/libexec/zfs/launchd.d/zpool-import-all.sh: "/bin/launchctl kickstart -kp system/org.openzfsonosx.zpool-import" has to be replaced by "/usr/local/zfs/bin/zpool import -a -f" for automount to work
  Once done, all is ok.
  If you prefer not to modify the package, I can put a reminder in the forum instead?

[lundman]

Ah thanks for the reminder

All OK for me on 10.11, OpenZFS 2.2.3

[nodarkthings]

Big issue for me in 10.14 today!
https://openzfsonosx.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=3931
EDIT (5 days and many trials later): it looks like I had simply forgotten changing the partition type when I created the pool (slice)... Recreated correctly yesterday and no issue so far, even coming back and forth from 10.14 to 10.9.

[dgreenley]

Had a similar sounding situation with Ventura and 2.2.3: #30

(FWIW I wasn't sure where to open the issue given the different repositories, opted for this one as it's where 2.2.3 was released and is being discussed; I'm happy to shift it elsewhere if that's preferred)

[stychos]

Since 2.2.3 I have spontaneous system reboots when performing read operations from the raidz1 pool (usually by find or grep). After each system shutdown it have to make 3-5 failing boot attempts before it is able to boot properly. If I boot into Linux, then it boots without issues into macOS from the first attempt.

Can anyone suggest how to gather more debug info on this? I couldn't find anything in /var/log/org.openzfsonosx.*, and looks like there's no related kernel crash dumps in the /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports.

[lundman]

OK we have indeed found a bug in the subtype of "I'm surprised this even compiles", so will build an rc2 so we can get some stability back.
(zfs_purgedir when reclaiming vnodes was accessing zap incorrectly, not easy to trigger unless you reclaim lots of xattrs, which.. eventually you will).

[kocoman2]

Where is the rc2? I have this reboot problem in osx 15 but not osx 12, only happens on the 2.3.0 and not 2.2.2, I didn't try 2.2.3 because it wasn't on the Downloads page in the osxformacosx page

[lundman]

Everything is slowly moving to github, since we can finally host everything there. But did I not do an rc2, that seems shoddy
