(I have a hunch that it is not..) If it turns out that this is not advisable, may I suggest that static/ archive versions of libraries (.a) be installed and linked from a directory different to that of the corresponding dynamic/shared (.so) libraries. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: Responsible-Changed-From-To: freebsd-bugs->freebsd-doc Responsible-Changed-By: gavin Responsible-Changed-When: Sat Oct 3 16:05:16 UTC 2009 Responsible-Changed-Why: I think this is probably best as a doc PR http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=139336 From: Freddie Cash To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org Cc: zdbs@lif.de Subject: Re: docs/139336: [request] ZFS documentation suggestion Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2011 14:40:59 -0800 --20cf307abf2f4b4ade04b25a7fd1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Using ZFS compression on filesystems with binaries, executables, shared libraries, and/or static libraries works without issues.
