RedSleeve Wikia

ZFS can be installed by using instructions supplied on the Solid Run wiki, with caveats. Essentially, the steps are this:

cd /
wget http://lundman.net/ftp/cubox/zfs-0.6.0-rc8.arm7.tar.gz 
tar -zxf  zfs-0.6.0-rc8.arm7.tar.gz
rm zfs-0.6.0-rc8.arm7.tar.gz
ldconfig
sh /usr/local/README.sh
zpool status

under RedSleeve, however, "zpool status" returns the following error:

error while loading shared libraries: libnvpair.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The solution here is to edit /etc/ld.so.conf - there should already be one line:

include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf

add this line:

/usr/local/lib #path to zfs shared libraries

then save and run ldconfig again


NOTE: README.sh loads the kernel modules needed for zfs to work. If you have to reboot or lose power, you should execute this script again or you will get missing module errors.

Once zfs is working, you can work with it, as per the ZFS Admin Guide
