Native ZFS for Linux!

ZFS is an advanced file system and volume manager which was originally
developed for Solaris and is now maintained by the Illumos community.

ZFS on Linux, which is also known as ZoL, is currently feature complete.  It
includes fully functional and stable SPA, DMU, ZVOL, and ZPL layers.

Full documentation for installing ZoL on your favorite Linux distribution can
be found at: <http://zfsonlinux.org>
Fix minor typos and update marketing copy. Correct spelling mistakes in the AUTHORS and DISCLAIMER files, and update the README.markdown file to credit Illumos and mention that the ZPL is finished. The README.markdown file is also the first impression for a handful of new users that discover ZoL through a web search because it doubles as the splash page for the Github repository. The build blurbs are therefore removed because these people should be encouraged to visit the regular home page before installing the product.

Add quick build instructions Full update to date build information will stay on the wiki for now, but there is no harm in adding the bare bones instructions to the README. They shouldn't change and are a reasonable quick start. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> 2010-09-01 22:23:13 +04:00

Add script for builtin module building. This commit introduces a "copy-builtin" script designed to prepare a kernel source tree for building ZFS as a builtin module. The script makes a full copy of all needed files, thus making the kernel source tree fully independent of the zfs source package. To achieve that, some compilation flags (-include, -I) have been moved to module/Makefile. This Makefile is only used when compiling external modules; when compiling builtin modules, a Kbuild file generated by the configure-builtin script is used instead. This makes sure Makefiles inside the kernel source tree does not contain references to the zfs source package.
