@ronnylov, Yes that is the way I perform kernel updates as well and it is not effective. That's why I am working on a new build script. I want to create a couple DKMS packages so I don't have to do the rebuilding manually. Unfortunately, this would mean that I would have to maintain 8 separate PKGBUILDS for spl, spl-utils, zfs, and zfs-utils packages. The new build tool I am working on will allow me to only have to edit one file and then I can build and test all the packages at once.

Thanks demizer! I have been wondering how to perform kernel upgrades if running ZFS on root (maybe this could be described in the wiki). The only way I found to perform kernel upgrades was to first uninstall zfs and spl, upgrade kernel, reboot, recompile and install spl and zfs again but if root is on zfs then I don't understand how to boot without zfs. Maybe that's why we need the DKMS packages?

@ronnylov, I saw that and agree that I don't really think it is necessary... but I was afraid of breaking something someone needed as I just picked up this package from the previous maintainer. When creating the new patch, the difference was only about three to four lines so I kept it. After I complete the new build tool I am working on, as well as create DKMS packages, I will try removing the patch and see if it breaks anything for anybody. Thanks!

zfs version 0.6.0 rc11 includes support for preemptible kernels. So I wonder if the zfs_preempt.patch really is necessary in this PKGBUILD?

Ok guys hopefully the bugs are fixed. Once again the split package is located here: https://github.com/demizer/aur-zfs/tree/master/sources/split

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Please do not mark this package as out of date without checking the kernel compatibility first.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