Description Paul Bolle 2025-04-30 16:36:41 UTC
In bug #2214965 I suggested to orphan zfs-fuse. That would have consequences for
libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-zfs (obviously) and libvirt-daemon-driver-storage (as one of its dependencies could disappear).

To quote myself: "Why do we care about an unmaintained, outdated and partial user userspace implementation of a filesystem that has very little chance of ever being properly supported by Fedora?"

I'm happy to discus my suggestion here or at that bug for zfs-fuse, whatever you prefer.

Comment 1 Daniel Berrangé 2025-04-30 16:47:04 UTC
From a libvirt POV we simply enable all features which have their dependencies satisfied in Fedora.  ie if zfs-fuse exists in Fedora we'll enable it in libvirt, otherwise we'll disable it in libvirt. 

IOW, don't treat libvirt has a blocker if there's a desire to kill zfs-fuse in Fedora, we'll adapt to whatever decision is made as needed.

Comment 2 Paul Bolle 2025-04-30 16:51:11 UTC
That's great to hear. (I feared long discussions between sets of maintainers.)

I'll try to close this bug.

FYI. zfs-fuse is now retired in Rawhide: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/zfs-fuse/c/bdafcb3e8876687c05f5bdb9c6fd3b3214563fff?branch=rawhide
