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.

When requesting changes, please include detailed reasoning for the change.

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)

Yeah, for now safe bet (as per usual) is an LTS kernel.

@korimitsu: The latest ZFS release (zfs-2.2.5) only officially supports the Linux kernel up to 6.9.

You'll have to wait for the next release for 6.10 support.

This should check if linux-headers is installed. https://pastebin.com/XnqV67mv

For anyone struggling with zfs support against the new 6.10-X kernels, have a look at:

Updated (it changed), correct and current URL:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zfs-dkms-staging-git

Good research and work done ^there!

That approach works on both of my pure Arch (btrfs) encrypted {/, /boot and swap} fully updated systems providing zfs support.

+++++++++++++++++++++

However, carefully note that on my native ZFS system, following:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Install_Arch_Linux_on_ZFS

you will first need to downgrade your kernel on that system to linux=6.9.7.arch1-1 (currently) so you can install required: zfs-linux for ZFS support and successful rebooting to occur!

That native ZFS system approach also is known to work, as I am currently writing to you from that rig!

Cheers

@DocMAX Can you provide more details? I'm able to build without errors.

Getting 6AD860EED4598027 unknown key error. gpg --recv-keys 6AD860EED4598027 did not help.

@mabod, Thank you! I've been seeing the same thing on my systems and am glad they've found a fix for it.

Since it's a very simple one, I've push an update to this package to backport the patch.

My bad I was replying to sphere101 about the kernel support and not to mabod about the configure.ac thing, I think I've created some confusion.
