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Please do not mark this package as out of date without checking the kernel compatibility first.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!

@demizer: How about building with gcc & libtool from the testing repo? I did that for my own build and it worked fine. OTOH, of course, if it's a matter of just a few hours or even a day or two of waiting, the risk -- even the lowest one -- might not be worth taking. If anyone's interested, these packages may be downloaded from here http://kerberia.net/archlinux/repo/archzfs-git/x86_64/, though it's much better of course to build them on one's own. (And it shouldn't be really necessary to say this, but such packages must never be tested directly on production systems!)

Sounds like a pretty big mistake from arch kernel maintainers, maybe they will just release 3.14.2-2 to fix it

Here is the problem described clearly: https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2014-May/036065.html from https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=180924 Looks like we'll have to wait.

demizer commented on 2014-05-01 12:31 (UTC)

Ok so it seems 3.14.2-1 was built with GCC 4.9. So we can't build these packages until GCC 4.9 is released to stable, which I'm not sure when that'll happen. Sorry guys and gals!

demizer commented on 2014-05-01 12:01 (UTC)

Well, i'm trying to build the updated packages and it's not happening. It seems CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is set in the kernel config, but this feature was added for GCC 4.9, which is still in testing. Not sure how to fix this yet... Here is the offending output from config.log when building spl.git: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=kENT3kdp

@PelPix, for the newest kernels, there are often api changes in the kernel that prevent the stable ZFSonLinux releases from building. We attempted to just pull in the patches of the changed API, and this worked for about six months, but in the latest kernel (3.14) the patches required were too many. My testing apparatus is virtually non-existent, so I didn't feel comfortable picking and choosing patches to get the build working again, so we abandoned the original package names for the zfs-git and zfs-lts packages. If you want peace of mind, you should be using lts anyway, but for me the git builds are perfectly fine. I am working on setting up a testing environment now with qemu to re-factor the mkinitcpio hooks. The testing environment will also allow me to run the builds through regression tests in the Arch userland to make sure everything works right.

PelPix commented on 2014-04-22 22:07 (UTC)

How difficult would it be to adapt to mainline versions instead of just stable? Would you describe this as a module that needs little patching to be brought up to mainline, or a lot of patching? I'd be willing to help.

demizer commented on 2014-04-21 13:15 (UTC)

It's working fine for me on multiple systems. What architecture are you using?

skeksis268 commented on 2014-04-21 10:54 (UTC)

Something's wrong here, maybe? Failed to load ZFS module stack. Load the module manually by running 'insmod <location>/zfs.ko' as root.
