installation trouble

[stefan....@gmail.com]

Hello,
I hope you guys can help me. I'm trying to install ZFS on FUSE
using the directions at www.wizy.org/wiki/ZFS_on_FUSE/Debian (cached
by google at
http://216.239.51.104/search?q=cache:HMJI81u01SMJ:www.wizy.org/wiki/ZFS_on_FUSE/Debian+http://www.wizy.org/wiki/ZFS_on_FUSE/Debian&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us)
and I'm having trouble when it comes to the actual installing. All of
the steps work except for the last one.
This is what happens:

~$ sudo dpkg -i zfs-
fuse_0.4.0~beta1.hg20070418.227.22a65c23850b-0~pre0_i386.deb
(Reading database ... 16787 files and directories currently
installed.)
Preparing to replace zfs-fuse
0.4.0~beta1.hg20070418.227.22a65c23850b-0~pre0 (using zfs-
fuse_0.4.0~beta1.hg20070418.227.22a65c23850b-0~pre0_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement zfs-fuse ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of zfs-fuse:
zfs-fuse depends on fuse-utils; however:
Package fuse-utils is not installed.
dpkg: error processing zfs-fuse (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
zfs-fuse
~$

I don't really know what could have gone wrong, since there don't seem
to be any errors from the previous steps. I am doing this on a fresh
install (of ubuntu feisty fawn) and I've reformatted a couple of times
in order to try to make this work.
please help me
thank you

So, install fuse-utils first.

sudo apt-get install fuse-utils

Well, That may or may not have helped, but I'm not sure - I'm still
stuck. I tried installing fuse-utils, and for some reason it
complained about unmet dependencies (I thought that was the whole
point of repositories). So when I tried installing ucf (which is what
fuse-utils was asking for) it complained about an unmet dependency
with zfs-fuse. So, I decided to try installing all 3 at the same time
and I get:

~$ sudo apt-get install zfs-fuse

I'm using zfs-fuse on feisty fawn

Try this way:
- get the source from
https://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6836
- install with aptitude (or apt-get) the following
- fuse-utils
- scons
- read instructions to build and install from file INSTALL in the tar.bz2

I did like this.

Ack, that looks like a bug in my package. I'll take a look at it later tonight.

[stefan....@gmail.com]

after unzipping zfs-fuse-0.4.0_alpha1.tar.bz2, I do not see an INSTALL
file. Can you be a little more specific as to where to find it. I'm
still kind of a newb when it comes to installing manually (thanks to
apt-get). I'm especially a newb when it comes to unzipping in linux.
thanks

download beta, not alpha

tar xf <filename>.tar.gz
cd <filename>
nano INSTALL

Anyway, Bryan Donlan will correct the error in apt repository, he said.

Wild guess time - you are using Ubuntu where /bin/sh is not bash
and the package has scripts referencing /bin/sh but uses bash-only
syntax for part of its tests..

Wouldn't that be a bug in the package scripts?

This is a very old version of the zfs-fuse package; the bug in
question should've been fixed in 0.4.0~beta1.hg20070424-0~pre1 .
Please check that your /etc/apt/sources.list entry is correct, run
apt-get update, and try again.

Unfortuantely it still does not work. I reinstalled the system and
tried getting the package it didn't install:

~$ sudo apt-get install zfs-fuse

Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely
that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
zfs-fuse: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.5-5) but 2.5-0ubuntu14 is to be
installed
E: Broken packages
~$ sudo apt-get install libc6

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done

libc6 is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
~$ uname -r
2.6.20-15-server

Is the package expecting an older version of the kernel? It says
2.5-0ubuntu is not installed, but my kernel is 2.6. I made sure that
the package is in the sources.list file ("deb http://www.fushizen.net/zfs-fuse
./").

However it looks like I got it working. I tried downloading the file
from https://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6836
and installing using the instructions, but it gave me errors about not
having stdlib.h and stdio.h and things of the such. I searched and
decided to install libstdc++6-dev from the repositiories. After that
the apt-get install zfs-fuse didn't work, but installing from the file
i got on berlios.de worked. I have since created (i think) pools and
the like. I do wonder if raid-z is supported by any chance?
thanks

libc6 is the C library, not the kernel. The reason it's failing is
because it's build for debian, not ubuntu. You'll need to rebuild it:
sudo apt-get install build-essential fakeroot
sudo apt-get build-dep zfs-fuse
apt-get source zfs-fuse
cd zfs-fuse_*/
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot
dpkg -i ../zfs-fuse_*.deb

Raid-Z is supported but currently there is a chance that the pool might
completely corrupt, so don't use it on important data.

This issue is being investigated.

Is that something peculiar to ZFS/FUSE or does it affect ZFS on other
platforms as well ?

cheers!

That's sad, as that's half the reason i wanted zfs. Is there any
chance of redundancy in my data. Does zfs support any other kind of
raid?
thanks

ZFS also supports mirroring (RAID1) and striping over mirrors (called RAID 10
or RAID 1+0).

And what's the other half? :P

From what you say, I think I could suggest you to have a deep look
at some documentation.
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/docs/
In particular the Administration Guide there.

I'm curious if this issue has been investigated; I haven't seen any
updates since this post, and I'd like to use ZFS-FUSE-- but only if it
won't corrupt my data! (Otherwise, there's little reason for me not
just to use RAID5.)

Thanks,

Brendan O'Connor
