zfs-windows-2.2.3-rc6

Announcing the release of zfs-macOS-2.2.3, it is fairly close to upstream OpenZFS-2.2.3

rc6:

Trying work around for Aomei ambakdrv.sys

rc5:

• VHD on ZFS fix
• fix mimic ntfs/zfs feature
• port zinject to Windows
• fix keylocation=file://
• fix abd memory leak

OpenZFSOnWindows-debug-.99-147-g8629f178fd.exe:
rc5 with zvol code disabled.

rc4:

• Unload BSOD, cpuid clobbers rbx

Most of the time this is not noticeable, but in registry-has-changed-callback
during borrowed-stack handling, rbx changing has interesting side-effects,
like BSOD at unload time.

This means 2.2.3rc1-rc3 can have BSOD at unload time. If you wish to avoid that,
rename Windows/system32/drivers/openzfs.sys to anything not ".sys", then reboot.
The system will come back without OpenZFS, and you can install rc4.

rc3:

• Fix input of passwords
• fix suspended pools block reboots
• minor smb fixes

rc2:

• CPUID clobbered registers leading to BSOD

rc1:

• Redone CPUID probe, please verify it is correct
• Tunable: "zfs_bclone_wait_dirty" set to wait instead of error from clonefile.
• DDT work (memory reduction, speedup)
• zfs list: add '-t fs' and '-t vol' options
• Add slow disk diagnosis to ZED
• Add 'zpool status -e' flag to see unhealthy vdevs
• BRT: Fix FICLONE/FICLONERANGE shortened copy
• (zpool: Add slot power control, print power status) not on Windows (yet)
• spa: make read/write queues configurable
• Allow block cloning across encrypted datasets
• Add libfetch for https://

OpenZFSOnWindows-debug-.99-137-g4b326b9b92-dirty.exe

testing compat-file-parser and avoid assert in IO completion.

Testing rc6:
OpenZFSOnWindows-debug-.99-149-gf9ec771f74.exe:

• zfs mount / get all broke with the http:// "fix".
• attempt to fix storport / zvol init BSOD at install
• stop duplicate entries in "Add / Remove programs"

zfs-windows-2.2.2-rc1

This is mostly a release to include the recent seek-hole fixes from upstream.

• raidz expansion
• block cloning fixes
• trim fixes
• reparse point fixes

*** Please update, the trim bug might be corrupting pools! ***

Now trim is disabled by default, to check it works (on test pools right?) change
HLM/System/ControlSet001/Services/OpenZFS
windows_enable_trim to 1.

*** rc8 ***

• Attempt to fix Notification BSOD

zfs-windows-2.2.0-rc6

2.2.0rc6

• kmem fixes
• unmount fixes
• fixes in write races
• zfs get all fix
• hard link fixes
• snapshot unmount fix
• correct IO read/write/cleanup/close
• Fix EndOfFile logic
• Add PagingFile ability
• Don't skip directory entries

2.2.0rc5

• deleting ReparsePoints BSOD fix
• FileObject is NULL BSOD fix (CrystalDisk)
• save Security Descriptors to disk, fix BSOD
• fix fastio write deadlock stall
• fix unlinked-drain BSOD
• fix various iocount/usecount leaks
• fix date in zpool events / history

Known issues:

dirlist will occasionally skip over an entry, to keep the mystery alive. 227

2.2.0rc4

• Entirely new IO system (read/write/cleanup) [1]
• Fixes to unmount/export wrt iocount/usecount
• Fixes to CcMgr/Windows cache

[1] Because there are large changes to read/write/cleanup, we need to retest
standard usage again. The good news is many compatibility issues now work
correctly, like downloading files with Chrome, running Steam.

2.2.0rc3

• default to Visual Studio 2022 / llvm16
• handle windows disable of MTIME/CTIME updates
• fixes for Security Descriptors
• store Security Descriptors in xattr
• FastIO support

2.2.0rc2

Had to re-write the vnode reclaim in this version, so it is possible it has more BSOD. Keep that in
mind if you want to try it out.

• reparse fixes, including lower dataset mounts
• kstat core dumping
• zpool events fix
• unlinked-drain BSOD on import

2.2.0rc1 upstream

• new xattr compat code from upstream, xattr=sa support too
• delete will (now) free space back to pool (in theory)
• diskfull errors returned correctly
• many corrections to Streams
• many corrections to FS events
• many fixes to iocount leaks (export stalls)
• delete long filenames fix

zfs-windows-2.1.7-rc3

List of stuff goes here.

*** rc3 ***

• fix dirlist
• fix query device name

*** rc2 ***

• fix REPARSE (sub-mounts)
• fix rename

*** rc1 ***

• assembly work

zfs-windows-2.1.6-rc4

Welcome to the first beta release.

zfswin-2.1.6rc4

• vdev_file would panic on reopening devices eed7d32
• IODetachDevice can panic on unmount/export
• add unlinked drain tunable
• Don't auto remount on setting mountpoint 8891ad1
• change mutex_destroy guard with spinlock

zfswin-2.1.6rc3

Sorry for the delay, that snapshot thing turned out to be a large piece of work required.

• unloading driver bsod: d1268e5
• zvol bsod: fd9924d
• scrub/resilver stack overflow: 376cbbd
• using ".zfs" would BSOD: 8c68d8a
• unmount would hold driveletter: 7dade4a
• handle paths better
• occasionally mounts would fail to assign driveletter

The snapshot code is new, use it gently. Please file any issues at
https://github.com/openzfsonwindows/openzfs/issues

zfswin-2.1.6rc2

• Enable gcm assembly
• Make register saving more correct

Known issues:

• #190

zfswin-2.1.6rc1

Using full release cycles now that the project is all grown up, here is zfswin-2.1.6rc1

It is "close to" the same as ZOL zfs-2.1.6

If you discover an issue or problem, please search issues here:
https://github.com/openzfsonwindows/openzfs/issues
and create one if you can not find anything matching your issue.

Known issues:

• assembler version of GCM is disabled, currently runs generic (C) version.

First fully signed installer of the new (re-)port of OpenZFS on Windows. ZFSin was always a proof-of-concept hack'n'slash port, and once it was shown to be feasible, the proper work was done (again).
