It has probably already happened to you: Creating volume /dev/sda2 failed with error -1008 Did it tell anything useful to you? Maybe if Storage gave you some more info, you could have continued, fix the problem by yourself.

This project has been already discussed during CSM Workshop. Here are some hints: aschnell: The infrastructure is available, just add some hundred messages to getErrorString() in Storage.cc. aschnell: One could of course also use exceptions but that looks like a task for more than a weeks work. mvidner: The method link is Storage::getErrorString. A quick and dirty way would be to simply add the raw identifiers from enum ErrorCodes: case DISKREMOVEPARTITIONINVALIDVOLUME: return "DISKREMOVEPARTITIONINVALIDVOLUME";

    openSUSE on ZoL from OpenZFS project by jkohoutek

    Idea is to have SUSE system with OpenZFS as root FS.

    Why ZFS

    Ways in which ZFS is better than BTRFS

    Main goal

    Have OpenZFS as install option in the installer and utilize zedenv Boot Environment Manager for SUSE updates install

    Goals

    • synergy of ZFS with dracut, so snapshots are correctly added to the grub
    • synergy of zedenv with zypper
      • before every update snapshot is created
      • when new kernel or other package which requires reboot is about to be installed, the update will be processed to the new boot environment snapshot and grub configuration changed to boot to this new one
    • integrate Root on ZFS as install option to the YaST
    • configure Kiwi for the ZFS install images

    Completed goals

    • prepare ZFS pool compatible with openSUSE installation ✓
    • install openSUSE with root on ZFS ✓
    • boot to the prepared and installed system ✓

    Current progress
