OpenZFS currently supports Linux kernel versions 4.18 - 6.14, 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)

I used to run stable kernels with zfs-dkms but since 5.5.x is not working with zfs, I would like to switch to the lts kernel tree.

(3/4) Install DKMS modules ==> dkms install zfs/0.8.3 -k 5.4.18-1-lts configure: error: *** Unable to build an empty module.

Is there any chance to get this done?

Build on 5.4.8 seems to be working flawlessly.

My installed version is: aur/zfs-dkms 0.8.3-1 (+90 2.98%) (Installed)

Any news on the 5.5.2 kernel release?

Build of zfs-dkms is failing again with kernel 5.5.1:


FATAL: modpost: GPL-incompatible module zfs.ko uses GPL-only symbol '__rcu_read_unlock'

Linux 5.5.1 breaks ZFS 0.8.3. If you're willing to patch your kernel there's a workaround here: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/9745#issuecomment-573205923

fryfrog commented on 2020-01-14 21:06 (UTC)

It is assumed by all AUR packages that base-devel is installed.

cyounkins commented on 2020-01-14 19:38 (UTC)

I think this needs build depends on automake and autoconf? Thank you for maintaining this.

freswa commented on 2020-01-07 13:44 (UTC)

Kernel 5.4 is working fine.

sphere101 commented on 2020-01-07 13:43 (UTC)

Does anyone know if zfs-dkms will work with the linux 5.4 Kernel?? Thank you.

xiaoliniess commented on 2019-12-27 12:03 (UTC)

@Tom_B I've manually tried the compilation, seems zfs configure does a lot compilation test and the configure process is single threaded, so no matter how powerful you machine is, it takes considerable time to complete.
