Hi there. I've modified the article with all the fantastic suggestions by Dale Raby. Also I've removed the duplicated content and converted the document to ODF, PDF and txt for people with slow computers or no google account. Thanks for all and regards.

New Contributor for Fedora Magazine: Jie
by Jie Kang 11 Apr '19

11 Apr '19

Hi all, Following the guide [1] I'd like to introduce myself! I'm Jie Kang, a software engineer at Red Hat. I'd like to write an article for the Fedora Magazine to introduce a new module in Fedora, Java Mission Control (JMC). JMC is a powerful analysis tool for the HotSpot JVM and is able to read Java Flight Recordings produced by the JDK. These two technologies were open-sourced by Oracle last year and JMC has been packaged recently for distribution as a module in Fedora [2]. I I'm interested in writing a short article on how to install the JMC module on Fedora and use it to analyze running JVMs on the system or previously created Flight Recordings. Would this be the correct type of content for Fedora Magazine? [1] https://fedoramagazine.org/writing-an-article-for-the-fedora-magazine/ [2] https://src.fedoraproject.org/modules/jmc Regards,

Re: [Fedora Magazine] New Editorial Comment: "How to Build a Netboot Server, Part 5"

Can this be rethought with another compression option? The kernel does not have to be recompiled, but a module (zfs.ko) does. The module, when loaded, does indeed taint the kernel. Here is the line that displays in my dmesg output: znvpair: module license CDDL taints kernel. There is a "zfs-fuse" package available in the Fedora repositories and a quick online search appears to show that it can be used to boot a zfs root ( https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/zfs-fuse/Pngazp3mALw). But the solution looks a bit too hackish for my taste. Here is an explanation of why zfs-fuse package is is allowed in Fedora, but zfs.ko is not: http://warpmech.com/?news=myth-busting-series-zfs-on-linux-has-license-prob… Btrfs was mentioned as a possibility, but I am a little weary of it. It looks like RHEL is also deprecating it: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/ht… It looks like there is a possibility that Oracle may someday change the ZFS license: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Oracle-ZFS-2017-Possibi… My intention at the moment is to hold off on doing netboot pt. 5 and maybe revisit the issue if Oracle does update the ZFS license. Thanks.
