The Solaris Porting Layer (SPL) is a Linux kernel module which
|
|
provides many of the Solaris kernel APIs.
|
|
This shim layer makes it possible to run Solaris kernel code in the
|
|
Linux kernel with relatively minimal modification.
|
|
|
|
This can be particularly useful when you want to track upstream
|
|
Solaris development closely and do not want the overhead of
|
|
maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux
|
|
primitives.
|
|
|
|
You need this if you want to run ZFS on Linux.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: You'll need the kernel source code to be able to compile this.
|
|
This package is kernel dependent, so you'll need to recompile it for
|
|
every new kernel you choose to run.
|
|
|
|
If you don't have a /usr/src/linux symlink pointing to your real
|
|
kernel directory (the script looks for it there by default), specify
|
|
your kernel source destination by
|
|
|
|
LINUXPATH=<path to your kernel source> ./spl-solaris.SlackBuild
