ZFS + PAE

[zentigger]

I'm trying to get ZFS and PAE to work together. I understand that I can't use load zfs.ko with a PAE kernel, but I can't find a way to statically compile zfs into the kernel. I've looked at http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=196682, but it is dated and not compatible with 8.3. Any suggestions?

You'll need to upgrade to FreeBSD 10-CURRENT to be able to compile ZFS into the kernel.

PAE will still limit you to a tiny kernel address space. Do your self a favor and upgrade to AMD64 compatible hardware. ZFS will not work reliably in a 32 bit address space.
