[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] Bug#897568: Still an issue with stretch/backports

[Michael Wyraz]

Hello,

thank you very much in investigating in this. IMO the bug is not yet to 
be closed because it's still not in stretch/backports. That means for 
all who run the latest stable debian with a backport kernel, zfs is 
still broken.

For me this means that I have to be _very_ careful in upgrading my 
systems to not to break it (i.e. don't upgrade the kernel).

I like debian for it's stability, both on my desktop and on my servers. 
But with the current situation, I either have to switch to a different 
filesystem (bad, none of the production ready fs have those features 
provided by ZFS), not to use backports (bad, the zfs version 0.6.x has 
several issues) or to switch my distribution (bad, debian is the best ;) 
). So I'd really appreciate if those permanent ZFS issues could be 
finally fixed (e.g. by coordinating updated between the kernel 
maintainer and the zfs-dmks maintainer).

Best regards,

Michael.
