Subject: [gentoo-dev] Porting ZFS to additional architectures

1 Dear Everyone,
2
3 Does anyone have root access to Linux systems on any of the following
4 architectures that is willing to help ZFS development?
5
6 Alpha
7 HPPA
8 IA-64
9 MIPS/MIPS64
10 PPC/PPC64
11 SH
12 SPARC/SPARC64
13
14 I want to port ZFSOnLinux to all Gentoo Linux architectures this year.
15 The above architectures either are not currently supported or have not
16 been tested in a while. Most of them will require patching isa_defs.h,
17 which I am in a position to do. I am not distributing the patches
18 because I don't know if ZFS will build on those platforms.
19
20 People willing (and able) to help should email me with their
21 architecture and distribution. Gentoo Linux is preferred, but not
22 required. No knowledge of programming is required. I will provide you
23 with instructions on how to build and test ZFS on your architecture.
24
25 Yours truly,
26 Richard Yao
