HELiOS is a spin of Scientific Linux created and maintained by the GE Healthcare Compute Systems team (CST). HELiOS strives to be as upstream as possible thus including ZOL into SL helps us better maintain upstream purity in HELiOS. Including ZOL in SL also allows the rest of the SL community to benefit from our work with ZOL. release_description: > The ZFS on Linux project has reached an important milestone with the official 0.6.1 release! Over two years of use by real users has convinced us ZoL is ready for wide scale deployment on everything from desktops to super computers. In addition to the usual bug fixes the 0.6.1 release introduces a new property called 'snapdev'. The 'snapdev' property was introduced to control the visibility of zvol snapshot devices and may be set to either 'visible' or 'hidden'. When set to 'hidden', which is the default, zvol snapshot devices will not be created under /dev/. To gain access to these devices the property must be set to 'visible' This behavior is analogous to the existing 'snapdir' property. Other significant changes include: * Added Linux 3.9 compatibility * Added snapdev property to control visibility of zvol snapshots. * Disabled old on-disk format warning for `zpool status -x`. * Enabled zfs_arc_memory_throttle_disable by default. * Improved slab object reclaim behavior. * Fixed disk cache flushing for 2.6.37 and newer kernels. * Fixed hot spare functionality. * Git - included in release for working builds. * Updated dkms and kmod compliant packaging. * Added man pages for splat, fsck.zfs, mount.zfs, zhack, zinject, zpios, ztest, and zpool-features. security_update: No fixed_bugs: No fixed_cves: No rpms: - SL6_SRPMS: - spl-0.6.1-1.el6.src.rpm - SL6_x86_64: - spl-0.6.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm - SL6_debuginfo: - spl-debuginfo-0.6.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
