+
+ <body>
+ <p>ZFS is one of the premier features of FreeBSD and the quality
+ of the documentation should match that of other important
+ features. Much of the original documentation from Sun and
+ Oracle has disappeared, moved, or is about the proprietary
+ version of ZFS. The OpenZFS project does not provide much
+ documentation and instead provides users with a few links,
+ including the FreeBSD Handbook. New users have many questions
+ about ZFS and yet there exists a great deal more bad advice
+ about ZFS than proper documentation.</p>
+
+ <p>After over a year of work, a new ZFS chapter has been added
+ to the FreeBSD Handbook. Over 20,000 words describing the
+ basics of creating, managing and maintaining a ZFS pool, as
+ well as using some of the advanced features like compression,
+ deduplication, and delegation. The chapter also contains a
+ glossary of terms, explaining a number of the concepts unique
+ to ZFS. The chapter also includes documentation of some of
+ the many sysctl variables that can be used to tune ZFS.</p>
+
+ <p>The remaining work is the FAQ section. To help users address
+ the most common questions or problems they might face with
+ ZFS. It would be useful to hear experiences, questions,
+ misconceptions, gotchas, stumbling blocks and suggestions for
+ the FAQ section from other users. Also, a use cases section
+ that highlights some of the cases where ZFS provides
+ advantages over traditional file systems.</p>

+ <p>Please send suggestions to the docs mailing list.</p>

+ <body>
+ <p>In May, &a.rodrigc; led a working group <em>Continuous
+ Integration and Testing with Jenkins for FreeBSD</em> at the
+ FreeBSD Devsummit in Ottawa. &a.rodrigc; also gave a Jenkins
+ presentation at BSDCan.</p>
+
+ <p>At BSDCan, &a.rodrigc; had some discussions with &a.jmmv;
+ about how to better integrate &os; testing efforts with
+ Jenkins and kyua. As a result of this discussion, &a.jmmv;
+ enhanced the <tt>kyua</tt> testing framework with a
+ <tt>kyua report-junit</tt> command. This command takes kyua
+ test results and outputs a test report in JUnit XML format.
+ Jenkins can directly import JUnit XML test results and display
+ them nicely.</p>
+
+ <p>In June, &a.rodrigc; was interviewed for episode 44 of BSD
+ Now. The interview covered Jenkins and Continuous Integration
+ in the &os; project.</p>
+
+ <p>In July, &a.rodrigc; gave a presentation to the Bay Area &os;
+ Users Group (BAFUG), <em>Libvirt and bhyve</em>, based on
+ experience he had with those technologies when used with
+ Jenkins.</p>
+
+ <p>&a.lwhsu; set up a Jenkins job to run the LLVM scan-build
+ tool to perform static analysis of the &os; code, and make the
+ results availalble at <tt>scan.freebsd.org</tt>.</p>
+
+ <p>&a.swills; modified the Jenkins job which builds
+ <tt>pkg(8)</tt> to use the <tt>kyua report-junit</tt> command
+ to integrate <tt>pkg(8)</tt> test results in Jenkins.</p>
+
+ <p>Anthony Williams reported that the version of the Java
+ Native Access (JNA) library bundled with Jenkins has problems
+ on &os;. This causes problems with Jenkins using libpam and
+ other plugins which use JNA. Craig filed JENKINS-24521
+ against Jenkins. Craig submitted patches to Jenkins to update
+ Jenkins to use JNA 4.1.0, which has fixes for &os;. Github
+ pull request 1410 was accepted into Jenkins, while pull
+ request 1387 is pending.</p>
+
+ <p>&a.rodrigc; worked on automatically running the tests in the
+ &os; <tt>/usr/tests</tt> directory under Jenkins using the
+ <tt>kyua</tt> test framework. &a.rodrigc; provided feedback
+ to &a.jmmv; about <tt>kyua</tt> and &a.jmmv; incorporated some
+ of the feedback as bugfixes and feature enhancements to
+ <tt>kyua</tt>. &a.rodrigc; committed some fixes to &os; to
+ eliminate some test failures. One of the tests still results
+ in a crash in byacc. This is being tracked in PR 193499.
+ Thomas E. Dickey (byacc maintainer) submitted a patch to fix
+ the problem, and this has been committed to FreeBSD.</p>
+
+ <p>&a.rodrigc; analyzed the cause of some startup errors in
+ Jenkins when opening a multicast socket. He had some
+ discussion with &a.bms; captured in PR 193246. The Java JDK
+ depends on functionality in Solaris where it is possible to
+ open an IPv4 multicast socket, but with an IPv4 multicast
+ address mapped to an IPv6 address. On Linux, there are
+ modifications to the JDK itself to work around this. &a.bms;
+ said that the work to make the FreeBSD IPv6 stack behave like
+ Solaris would require some work.</p>
+
+ <p>&a.rodrigc; started writing a Kyua Quickstart Guide. This
+ guide is meant to help new kyua users who want to write tests
+ and run them under kyua. &a.rodrigc; is seeking feedback to
+ help improve this guide.</p>
