Been running it for a few hours now. ZFS seems to be functioning
flawlessly.

[Christian Kendi]

how about the 10a.... bits?

[Gary Gendel]

Sorry... As a user I'm not sure what the 10a bits are. I hope to
support development as figure where I'm needed.

By "10a bits", Christian means the alpha-quality binaries included as
part of an early 10.6 Snow Leopard pre-release (i.e. a build of Mac OS
X starting with "10A…". There's no source code for them, so we don't
know the exact changes Apple made; we only know that they seem to work
better with 10.6 final as well.

The upgrade was not exciting for me. It doesn't appear there's
anything to worry about.

[Christian Kendi]

so, does they work with 10.6.2 or no?

The 10a bits are not supported by anyone.

There's a separate installer for Snow Leopard that uses the 119 bits,
recompiled for Snow Leopard. It's linked from the project page and the
files page for this group.

I played with the "10a" bits initially...

I got KP after KP... even with simple things like stopping a copy/
transfer in the finder.
Every time it KP'd I'd sometimes loose my pool entire pool also.... 8
((

It was faster! it was emptying Trash! but struth... never had so many
KPs ever...

Admittedly I'm using beta Sil3121 drivers with a Sil3726 PM also in
the mix...

So I went back to 119 SL. sweet.
No KPs and it's been smooth sailing since...

and it's fast! I'm using shitty samsung 5 x 1TB (only 5400rmp "eco"
drives) as a raidz.

Menumeters consistenly sits around 80MB/sec when using AFP...

I can't complain with that!

well, im not asking for support. Just wanted to know if they work, YES or NO. Well, i tested on my own and they
still work with 10.6.2. Yes there are KP, but i guess i cant downgrade because I already got my pool on version 11.

As soon as the 119 project will run a new code base from solaris i could probably switch.

I need to upgrade to Snow Leopard this weekend. I'm currently on 10.5.8
using 119 bits on a mirrored pair and a third zfs disk.

Is there best/safest way to upgrade? For instance, being paranoid, my
first plan of attack is this:
- shutdown
- unplug the zfs drives
- power up
- upgrade to 10.6
- reboot
- upgrade to 10.6.2
- install ZFS-119-SnowLeopard.pkg
- reboot (and plugin a spare drive)
- do a zfs test run creating pools, etc... with a spare drive
- if the last step is ok, power down, remove the spare, plugin my
working drives, power up and test

I have multiple backups of everything in case something does blow up
along the way. I'd just like to do this in one pass if possible.

So, am I missing something or just being overly paranoid?

I think you're missing 1 step:

1. before 10.5.8 shutdown you should zpool export .
...
99. after zfs bits are installed on 10.6.2 you may need to zpool
import .

You're being much more careful that I was, I did a fresh install and just had hope that it would work. I didn't have any (additional) issues so you're plan sounds just fine.

If you don't do a export first you might have to force import, but that isn't harmful, should work just fine.

Thanks much! I'll add the export/import steps and take a crack at this
later in the day.
