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Please do not mark this package as out of date without checking the kernel compatibility first.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

how well maintained is this package?

demizer commented on 2013-04-19 03:53 (UTC)

For anyone using the pre-compiled archzfs repo, I am soon going to be merging my repositories into one repo to ease maintenance. This would probably be in the next release.

Before upgrading the zfs and spl package using pacman, should we unmount all filesystem and modprobe -r the modules to prevent weird behaviour ? - The same behaviour as upgrading the X server and not the proprietary graphic display driver, or upgrading the kernel or libc and not rebooting the machine. Is this something worth writing in the wiki?

The production ready version 0.6.1 of ZFS and SPL have been released. The packaging has changed greatly and will probably take a day or two to test and make sure everything works on my systems.

demizer commented on 2013-03-23 00:56 (UTC)

The core and testing archzfs repos have been updated to 0.6.0_rc14_3.8.4-1.

It appears someone has already made dkms packages for zfs, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zfs-modules-dkms/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/spl-modules-dkms/ But these only extract the precompiled rpm packages for redhat, I do not recommend this. The modules should be built with libraries compiled for arch.

@darklajid, if you do wind up working on an update script for cron, instead of doing a pacman update, you should use curl to get this page https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/linux/ and just grep the version. Be warned though, new kernel versions first show up in testing before they are moved to core. I think if I set this script up on my development system I would have one cronjob for testing and one for core. Usually I create the packages for testing first and then after a few days I move them into the core directory of the archzfs repo project.
