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Please do not mark this package as out of date without checking the kernel compatibility first.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

@cinch, I have no clue why it is not working. All I can tell you is that I think ZOL is meant to be used with a vanilla kernel. I would recommend you go check the github issue tracker to see if there are issues with ZOL and custom kernels.

just compiled it via aur, but it doesn't seem to working right: david@mango ~ % sudo modprobe zfs modprobe: FATAL: Module zfs not found. david@mango ~ % locate zfs.ko /usr/lib/modules/3.9.2-2-ck/extra/zfs/zfs.ko david@mango ~ % uname -a Linux mango 3.9.2-2-ck #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun May 12 22:46:40 CEST 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux david@mango ~ % sudo insmod /usr/lib/modules/3.9.2-2-ck/extra/zfs/zfs.ko insmod: ERROR: could not insert module /usr/lib/modules/3.9.2-2-ck/extra/zfs/zfs.ko: Unknown symbol in module

Sorry, my bad.

demizer commented on 2013-05-12 04:22 (UTC)

@ezzetabi, That is correct. The current archiso has kernel 3.8.10: https://www.archlinux.org/download/ I just tested it and it worked fine. Can you include more detail please?

ezzetabi commented on 2013-05-11 19:45 (UTC)

The repo http://demizerone.com/demz-repo-archiso/x86_64/ still has 0.6.1_3.8.10-1.

@jpapadopoulos: I run ZFS with a ck kernel just fine. @senorsmile: Your kernel version and the version that ZFS in the repos was compiled with likely do not match. Try building it yourself from the AUR.

I am testing zfs on root following directions at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installing_Arch_Linux_on_ZFS. archiso worked fine. I booted to cd, added repo and key and installed. modprobe zfs gives 1 and when I try to zpool create I get "Failed to load ZFS module stack. Load the module manually by running 'insmod <location>/zfs.ko' as root." I actually tried insmod /usr/lib/modules/3.8.11-1-ARCH/extra/zfs/zfs.ko which gave "insmod: ERROR: could not insert module /usr/lib/modules/3.8.11-1-ARCH/extra/zfs/zfs.ko: Unknown symbol in module"

jpapadopoulos commented on 2013-05-04 12:22 (UTC)

Does this work with patched kernels like linux-ck or zen?

ezzetabi commented on 2013-05-03 15:15 (UTC)

Linux 3.8.11 is out.

proxypoke commented on 2013-05-03 15:01 (UTC)

100% installation including boot doesn't work, to my knowledge. You need a separate /boot. The rest, however, does work - I've done it - but it's very brittle, and really not worth the trouble IMO. Though, it's been a while since I've migrated back to ext4 for / and /home, so this might have changed. Go ahead and try, I'd love some new data on this.
