Thanks @blmarket. My mistake. I will try that
@theking2 'zfs-linux' requires specific linux kernel version to work, which is currently '6.1.1.arch1.1-1', while your kernel is finding module for kernel '5.15.85-1-lts'. Use 'zfs-linux-lts' instead, (or 'zfs-dkms' which will build for each kernel version)
Just updated the kernel and did a reboot: Linux janus 5.15.85-1-lts #1 SMP Thu, 22 Dec 2022 06:22:00 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux
But after makepkg -si and modeprobe zfs I get: modprobe: FATAL: Module zfs not found in directory /lib/modules/5.15.85-1-lts
Is there a way to get zfs working on this kernel?
@ginger thanks so much I've solved
@Dracul You can use
to download the key through the gpg servers. I find this doesn't always work for me, so I typically manually download the gpg file from https://archzfs.com/archzfs.gpg and run
to install the key manually.
You can then run
to fully trust the key. On a normal Arch install, this typically only needs to be done once and you shouldn't run in to any more Signature issues.
Hi, I can't update because pgp isn't wrong, can I fix it?
This is error: error: archzfs: the signature of "ArchZFS Bot buildbot@archzfs.com" is not valid
I have temporarily solved it by putting SigLevel = Never
Dracul, it gets updated regularly, but sometimes the minor version upgrades come quickly enough that testing isn't complete before the maintainer releases, so those get skipped. Personally, I have a notification set on this package so I know when a new version is released and try to prioritize updating my systems soon thereafter.
Hi, how often is it updated with respect to the kernel?
Thanks for the info.

This package will be kept in sync with the latest openzfs 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 2.3.3 supports kernel versions 4.18 - 6.15. When kernel 6.16 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.
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Please do not mark this package as out of date without checking the kernel compatibility first.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!
