This package will be kept in sync with the openzfs latest stable release and the kernels officially supported by it.

For the supported kernel versions, refer to the respective openzfs release notes (LINK).

E.g. openzfs 2.3.1 supports kernel versions 4.18 - 6.13. When kernel 6.14 is released for Arch, zfs-linux will not be updated until the openzfs project announces that it's compatible. This will most likely happen with the next openzfs release.

The kernel compatibility of the upcoming openzfs release can be seen in their META file (LINK).

For those wishing to use openzfs with unsupported kernels, do note that this could lead to serious issues, including data loss, even though such a zfs-linux package might build and install cleanly. Have reliable backups and use such a package at your peril.

Please do not mark this package as out of date without checking the kernel compatibility first. Thank you!

A new stable release of OpenZFS version 0.6.5.10 is out, but it does not address the gcc 7.1.1 build errors. These packages will remain out-of-date until a stable release of OpenZFS is made fixing the gcc build issues. That might take some time. Until then, if anyone really needs to update their kernel, use the archzfs-git packages.

@eblau, some work has been done on this in this branch: https://github.com/archzfs/archzfs/tree/extramodules Unfortunately, I have not had time to finish this yet. Thanks

The git packages have been updated to support kernel 4.11, but it looks like we're going to be waiting for another OpenZFS stable release for the archzfs stable packages: ==> Starting build()... autoreconf: Entering directory `.' autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext autoreconf: running: aclocal --force -I config autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing autoreconf: running: libtoolize --copy --force libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, 'config'. libtoolize: copying file 'config/ltmain.sh' libtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS, 'config'. libtoolize: copying file 'config/libtool.m4' libtoolize: copying file 'config/ltoptions.m4' libtoolize: copying file 'config/ltsugar.m4' libtoolize: copying file 'config/ltversion.m4' libtoolize: copying file 'config/lt~obsolete.m4' autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf --force autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoheader --force autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy --force-missing configure.ac:43: installing 'config/compile' configure.ac:36: installing 'config/missing' cmd/Makefile.am: installing 'config/depcomp' autoreconf: Leaving directory `.' checking for gawk... gawk checking metadata...

Is it possible to install the zfs-linux and zfs-linux-lts family of packages side-by-side? Does anyone have a suggestion on how to do so? Currently there are file conflicts so this can't be done easily. You must choose one or the other set of packages. I had to revert to linux-lts recently due to bugs in the 4.10.x "stable" series for i915 that cause complete system hangs with no plans to supply fixes to 4.10.x. See: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99295 It would be great if the ZFS packages could live together on the same system just like linux and linux-lts can. It seems that if the ZFS version is the same, the packages could be restructured in such a way that the modules don't conflict and any headers or supplementary files from ZFS could live in one place. Am I oversimplifying the problem? Any suggestions on an approach to try to help with this? Do I need to move to the dkms packages?

@ShaunPC thanks for the explanation. I reinstalled 23-1 and rebooted without any issue.

@gmtch you can allow mkinitcpio generate the image and reboot using 23-1. The module that couldn't be found does exist in the kernel already. A commit to mkinitcpio will check for built-in modules like this one in a later update. The check was missing and as a result the error was produced when there wasn't really an error. I did the update with 23-1 and rebooted after the error was produced on the screen. No issues to report. It seems to be a non-error due to 23-1 not checking for built-in modules.

I got the same error as ShaunPC at 2017-03-15 02:46 and downgraded to mkinitcpio-22-1 The initramfs built okay and box rebooted without problem.

When doing an update I got the following error: (21/21) upgrading zfs-linux [##########################################################################] 100% >>> Updating ZFS module dependencies >>> Generating initial ramdisk, using mkinitcpio.

Thanks for the quick package update for linux-4.10.2_1-1!
