   1 ============================ ZFS KERNEL BUILD ============================
   2
   3 1) Build the SPL (Solaris Porting Layer) module which is designed to
   4    provide many Solaris APIs in the Linux kernel which are needed
   5    by ZFS.  To build the SPL:
   6
   7         tar -xzf spl-x.y.z.tgz
   8         cd spl-x.y.z
   9         ./configure --with-linux=<kernel src>
  10         make
  11         make check <as root>
  12
  13 2) Build ZFS, this port is based on build 89 of ZFS from OpenSolaris.
  14    You will need to have both the kernel and SPL source available.
  15    To build ZFS for use as a Linux kernel module (default):
  16
  17         tar -xzf zfs-x.y.z.tgz
  18         cd zfs-x.y.z
  19         ./configure --with-linux=<kernel src> \
  20                     --with-spl=<spl src>
  21         make
  22         make check <as root>
  23
  24 ========================= ZFS USER LIBRARY BUILD =========================
  25
  26 1) Build ZFS, this port is based on build 89 of ZFS from OpenSolaris.
  27    To build ZFS as a userspace library:
  28
  29         tar -xzf zfs-x.y.z.tgz
  30         cd zfs-x.y.z
  31         ./configure --zfsconfig=user
  32         make
  33         make check <as root>
  34
  35 ============================ ZFS LUSTRE BUILD ============================
  36
  37 1) Build the SPL (Solaris Porting Layer) module which is designed to
  38    provide many Solaris APIs in the Linux kernel which are needed
  39    by ZFS.  To build the SPL:
  40
  41         tar -xzf spl-x.y.z.tgz
  42         cd spl-x.y.z
  43         ./configure --with-linux=<kernel src>
  44         make
  45         make check <as root>
  46
  47 2) Build ZFS, this port is based on build 89 of ZFS from OpenSolaris.
  48    To build ZFS as a userspace library for use by a Lustre filesystem:
  49
  50         tar -xzf zfs-x.y.z.tgz
  51         cd zfs-x.y.z
  52         ./configure --zfsconfig=lustre \
  53                     --with-linux=<kernel src> \
  54                     --with-spl=<spl src>
  55         make
  56         make check <as root>
  57
  58 3) Provided is an in-kernel test application called kpios which can be
  59    used to simulate a Lustre IO load.  It may be used as a stress test
  60    or as a performance to measure your configuration.  To simplify testing
  61    there are scripts provided in the scripts/ directory.  A single test
  62    can be run as follows:
  63
  64         WARNING: You MUST update DEVICES in the create-zpool.sh script
  65                  to reference the devices you wish to use.
  66
  67        cd scripts
  68        ./load-zfs.sh            # Load the ZFS/SPL module stack
  69        ./create-zpool.sh        # Modify DEVICES to list your zpool devices
  70        ./zpios.sh               # Modify for your particular kpios test
  71        ./unload-zfs.sh          # Unload the ZFS/SPL module stack
