Upgrade and ZFS

[zhushazang]

Hi folks,

I've installed my FreeBSD 8.2 and created a pool with raidz along 3 devices.

[cmd=]zpool create storage ad2 ad3 ad4[/cmd]
[cmd=]zfs create storage/usr[/cmd]

Then,

[cmd=]cp -pr /usr /storage/usr[/cmd]
[cmd=]mv /usr /bck-usr[/cmd]
[cmd=]ln -s /storage/usr /usr[/cmd]

After this, the system still running. Before rebooting too.

Now, I'm trying to make a [cmd=]make installworld[/cmd] but the command stopping in some of like this:

cd /storage/usr/share/man/en.ISO8859-1; ln -sf ../man* .
ln: ./man1: Operation not permitted
ln: ./man1aout: Operation not permitted
ln: ./man2: Operation not permitted
ln: ./man3: Operation not permitted
ln: ./man4: Operation not permitted
ln: ./man5: Operation not permitted
ln: ./man6: Operation not permitted
ln: ./man7: Operation not permitted
ln: ./man8: Operation not permitted
ln: ./man9: Operation not permitted

Is there a way to solve this problem?

Hi,

1) That is not a raidz pool. I'll demonstrate the difference.
2) I would suggest creating filesystems and mounting them where they should be, instead of linking.

1:
# zpool create pool [b]raidz[/b] ad2 ad3 ad4

2:
# zfs create pool/usr
# mv /usr /usr.bak
# mkdir /usr
# zfs set mountpoint=/usr pool/usr
# mv /usr.bak/* /usr/
# rm -r /usr.bak
# cd /usr/src
# make clean

Then you are ok to restart your build process again.

Remember to have:
/boot/loader.conf

zfs_load="YES"

and:
/etc/rc.conf

zfs_enable="YES"

or your server won't be happy on reboot.
