* loader: zfs should support bootonce an nextbootToomas Soome2020-09-213-120/+288
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bootonce feature is temporary, one time boot, activated by "bectl activate -t BE", "bectl activate -T BE" will reset the bootonce flag. By default, the bootonce setting is reset on attempt to boot and the next boot will use previously active BE. By setting zfs_bootonce_activate="YES" in rc.conf, the bootonce BE will be set permanently active. bootonce dataset name is recorded in boot pool labels, bootenv area. in case of nextboot, the nextboot_enable boolean variable is recorded in freebsd:nvstore nvlist, also stored in boot pool label bootenv area. On boot, the loader will process /boot/nextboot.conf if nextboot_enable is "YES", and will set nextboot_enable to "NO", preventing /boot/nextboot.conf processing on next boot. bootonce and nextboot features are usable in both UEFI and BIOS boot. To use bootonce/nextboot features, the boot loader needs to be updated on disk; if loader.efi is stored on ESP, then ESP needs to be updated and for BIOS boot, stage2 (zfsboot or gptzfsboot) needs to be updated (gpart or other tools). At this time, only lua loader is updated. Sponsored by: Netflix, Klara Inc. Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D25512 Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=365938
* Merge OpenZFS support in to HEAD.Matt Macy2020-08-251-12/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The primary benefit is maintaining a completely shared code base with the community allowing FreeBSD to receive new features sooner and with less effort. I would advise against doing 'zpool upgrade' or creating indispensable pools using new features until this change has had a month+ to soak. Work on merging FreeBSD support in to what was at the time "ZFS on Linux" began in August 2018. I first publicly proposed transitioning FreeBSD to (new) OpenZFS on December 18th, 2018. FreeBSD support in OpenZFS was finally completed in December 2019. A CFT for downstreaming OpenZFS support in to FreeBSD was first issued on July 8th. All issues that were reported have been addressed or, for a couple of less critical matters there are pull requests in progress with OpenZFS. iXsystems has tested and dogfooded extensively internally. The TrueNAS 12 release is based on OpenZFS with some additional features that have not yet made it upstream. Improvements include: project quotas, encrypted datasets, allocation classes, vectorized raidz, vectorized checksums, various command line improvements, zstd compression. Thanks to those who have helped along the way: Ryan Moeller, Allan Jude, Zack Welch, and many others. Sponsored by: iXsystems, Inc.

* zfsbootcfg: a simple tool to set next boot (one time) options for zfsbootAndriy Gapon2016-10-293-0/+237
(gpt)zfsboot will read one-time boot directives from a special ZFS pool area. The area was previously described as "Boot Block Header", but currently it is know as Pad2, marked as reserved and is zeroed out on pool creation. The new code interprets data in this area, if any, using the same format as boot.config. The area is immediately wiped out. Failure to parse the directives results in a reboot right after the cleanup. Otherwise the boot sequence proceeds as usual. zfsbootcfg writes zfsboot arguments specified on its command line to the Pad2 area of a disk identified by vfs.zfs.boot.primary_pool and vfs.zfs.boot.primary_vdev kenv variables that are set by loader during boot. Please see the manual page for more. Thanks to all who reviewed, contributed and made suggestions! There are many potential improvements to the feature, please see the review for details.
