OpenZFS currently supports Linux kernel versions 4.18 - 7.0, as declared in the META file.

Options if your Linux kernel's version is not within that range:

1) Switch to another Linux kernel, such as linux-lts.

2) Prevent your kernel package from upgrading to an unsupported version until OpenZFS increases the maximum supported kernel version.

3) Modify this package to support your kernel by patching it on your local machine.

If you receive this error when trying to build, it is because you have not imported the GPG keys used for verification.

==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified!

You have two options:

1) Import the two keys into your keyring. ArchWiki article. You can find the key IDs in the PKGBUILD file, in the validpgpkeys array. (recommended)

2) Alternatively, you can skip this verification by passing the --skippgpcheck argument to makepkg when building. (not recommended)

Thanks @mabod for locating the patch. It worked zfs module built w/o errors

@baslking: They have a fix merged already. You could give this fix a try and apply it in zfs-dkms PKGBUILD to zfs 2.4.2:

Update on my previous deleted post. The module build now fails on aarch64. It failed for me first on 6.18.32. I'm not 100% sure which update broke the build, I had a 6.18.29 kernel that built the module correctly, dkms was also updated, in between. I've tried downgrading both, but the problem is elsewhere. It seems that the breakage is likely with the gcc 16.x toolchain

The error that fails is:

/var/lib/dkms/zfs/2.4.2/build/module/zfs/vdev_raidz_math_aarch64_neon_common.h:30:15: error: invalid hard register usage between earlyclobber operand and input operand

/var/lib/dkms/zfs/2.4.2/build/module/zfs/vdev_raidz_math_impl.h:1396:17: note: in expansion of macro ‘XOR_ACC’
...etc

This seems to be known and could potentially be fixed in 2.4.3

@baslking: Seems to be an issue with aarch64 architecture. You need to address this issue to the zfs developers. You can open an issue on the zfs github page: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues

I removed the repo definition and it looks like yay is finding 2.4.0. Thanks I will try that. My fault for trusting an AI answer.

mabod commented on 2026-01-14 08:18 (UTC)

@malibu: zfs-dkms 2.4.0 should automatically be installed when you do a "yay -S zfs-dkms zfs-utils". You seem to have an old package database. A simple "yay -Syyu" should to the trick. This is all in the AUR. You do not need https://archzfs.com .

malibu commented on 2026-01-14 08:13 (UTC)

How do I switch my package source? I installed native arch, then installed yay, then did yay -S zfs-dkms zfs-utils. Should that not give me the latest version? Admittedly I did try the zfs repository first, does it have the wrong version? Would yay pull the package from the repository instead of from AUR? This is the repo I have configured: https://archzfs.com/$repo/$arch.
