@ibex, I am not getting panics, i.e., "Works on my machine(s)"
My current archzfs tasks involve setting up a testing cluster for verifying the archzfs builds, but as you can imagine, this is a *ton* of work, about 40 hours of work to be exact. (I get to put in about 4 hours a week at most). I absolutely _do not_ have the time to manually QA every release, this is the price of bleeding edge that we Arch users must contend with. This will improve in time, but it's going to take time, of which I am currently short on.
As I have said before, and will say every chance I get, do backups people!

Is there actually anybody who doesn't have panics at boot?
kinghajj commented on 2015-03-20 04:13 (UTC)
After updating to the latest version, I get panics on boot.

Yeah, that was it exactly. Looking at that commit, looks like such a simple fix for so many critical bugs. Kinda funny.
kerberizer commented on 2015-03-06 21:54 (UTC)
@justinkb, thanks for confirming this! Indeed, I think this particular commit to SPL really closed a lot of nasty bugs...

If I remember correctly, you were also facing CPU soft lockups in the kernel, with the txg_sync thread getting stuck. I'm glad to say that, like you, I haven't noticed a single one after that commit.

A while ago I had a recurring problem, which I posted about in this comment box, where I got kernel panics on 3.16 and 3.17. This is now fixed with the latest package and using kernel 3.18.x. Running it rock solid for 2 months now or so.
Just wanted to report this.

@Perseids, @Ibex, these commits might be relevant to (and, indeed, might fix) your problem with the spl_hostid module parameter...

@demizer, done: https://github.com/demizer/archzfs/issues/31 :)
It's good to know that it isn't supposed to work. As I've written in the bug report, the root on zfs wiki page mentions it as a valid kernel parameter.
@Ibex, thanks. That kernel option is much more comfortable than forcefully importing it in the minimalistic busybox. Have you tried writing a /etc/hostid file as per https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installing_Arch_Linux_on_ZFS#After_the_first_boot ? Does it have its own complications? I'll try that next before I permanently add the force option to my boot parameters.
khenderick commented on 2015-01-29 19:23 (UTC)
@Perseids: I had some issues with the hostid in the past as well, and I eventually decided to always do a force import on boot. Might help you (for now) as well.
My grub linux line: linux /vmlinuz-linux zfs=zroot rw zfs_force=1
demizer commented on 2015-01-29 19:18 (UTC)
@Perseids Sorry to hear about your issue. Archzfs does not currently support setting a custom hostid. I will look into this issue further. If you don't mind, could you create a ticket here: https://github.com/demizer/archzfs/issues

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!
