Seems like the release name is incorrect. This is a zfs-macos-2.3.0rc1 release.

[lundman]

sheesh, that is highly amusing

Just tried the Tahoe build and it panics on pool import. I'll try with a new pool.

I've played with 2.3.1rc1 yesterday on a MacStudio w/ M2 and 128GB Ram, ZFS on externel SSDs. Panics after some seconds. :-/
Crash dump attached...

[lundman]

Attached? I was looking for a .panic file to test the new symbolicator script - anyone have one for 2.3.1rc ?

[ks09271]

Hm, looks like I can't attach files, no idea why. :-/ Can I send you the panic-files some other way?

[lundman]

OK, I think we have a way to symbolicate the panics. https://gist.github.com/lundman/54e633a850e7623aae5adab38a39f464

Should really start a wiki page on it here in GH

[lundman]

Has to be .zip on here, otherwise, just send it to me in email; lundman@lundman.net

The OpenZFSonOsX-2.3.1rc1v2-Tahoe.26-26-arm64 installed after rebooting my M2 mac mini into safe mode. Now the system doesn't panic but it didn't recognize my single device iscsi target as a vaild pool device. When I try and create a single device pool on either the iscsi target or a singe usb drive it fails with an error but no panic.

~> sudo zpool create -f -O compression=lz4 -O casesensitivity=insensitive -O normalization=formD TestZFS /dev/disk8
internal error: cannot create 'TestZFS': Unknown error: -2112395680

Ah creating file based pool was ok (had a panic on unmounting it, fixed) but real devices do fail:

zpool create USB /dev/disk6
internal error: cannot create 'USB': Unknown error: 135629616

[lundman]

OK this should fix those issues

In doing this, figured out how to get symbols from panic, found it was linking against libzfs.4.dylib and not libzfs.6.dylib, and 2 issues with vdev_file going into common/ code.
