Arch Linux User Repository

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 2.3.2 supports kernel versions 4.18 - 6.14. When kernel 6.15 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Please do not mark this package as out of date without checking the kernel compatibility first.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!

@onedr0p, that loop is expected. You have to either first remove the old spl/zfs packages, upgrade the kernel and then rebuild the new ones, or, __preferably__, build in a chroot in line with the instructions here... https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_Clean_Chroot ...or using @graysky's clean-chroot-manager... https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/clean-chroot-manager/ ...or, as @Ibex suggested, simply use prebuilt packages.

I see. To be honest, I don't manually build the zfs-git package, but I use demizer's repo with pacman so it can auto-resolve the dependencies. In my /etc/pacman.conf: [demz-repo-core] Server = http://demizerone.com/$repo/$arch

Whoops, accidentally hit submit $ yaourt -S zfs-git error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: spl-git: requires linux=4.0.4-2 :: zfs-git: requires linux=4.0.4-2 ==> Restart building spl-git ? [y/N] ==> -------------------------------- ==> $ uname -a Linux serenity 4.0.4-2-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri May 22 03:05:23 UTC 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux As you can see it's stuck in a failed loop when trying to update one or the other.

@Ibex, I understand that, however, I cannot upgrade the linux package and (spl-git or zfs-git) because they complain about each other being a dependancy. # pacman -S Linux error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: spl-git: requires linux=4.0.4-2 :: zfs-git: requires linux=4.0.4-2 $ yaourt -S zfs-git

That's normal sometimes. It means the kernel was updated on the main repo's, but that this package wasn't yet updated. The best thing to do is flag this package out-of-date and wait for the package to get updated. Demizer is usually incredibly quick :).

Hello, I get an error trying to update. Please help, thanks. $ uname -a Linux serenity 4.0.2-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu May 7 06:47:54 CEST 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux # pacman -Syu :: Starting full system upgrade... resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: spl-git: requires linux=4.0.2-1 :: zfs-git: requires linux=4.0.2-1

Definitely local network issue. Seems to be wifi related... yay, wifi troubleshooting :)

@senorsmile, seems like a local network issue. You could run curl to get a better idea of timings: curl -v -s http://demizerone.com/demz-repo-core/x86_64/demz-repo-core.db -w "Total Time: %{time_total}\nName lookup: %{time_namelookup}\nStart transfer: %{time_starttransfer}\n" -o /dev/null Also checkout mtr https://www.linode.com/docs/networking/diagnostics/diagnosing-network-issues-with-mtr

Presumably, pacman is timing out, and since there are no more mirrors it just fails. I increased the connection timeout in pacman.conf and voila, problem solved. This must be a weird wifi issue that's only presenting itself with this custom repo.

zfs-git builds fine if your NOT using llvm/clang
