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Please do not mark this package as out of date without checking the kernel compatibility first.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 Thanks for maintaining the package and the very quick update. You make it easy for everyone. It took me just 2 hours to understand and install ZFS on a 6x4TB 4+2 RAIDZ-2, while it took 2 days (and still going) to make Samba4 run properly on that server (joined as a member to an Active Directory domain). The OpenZFS is great news. At the very least it formalizes the current upstream code coordination between the Illumos, FreeBSD and ZoL platforms. Oracle Solaris will be the 'orphan'.

So will this package transition to Open-ZFS or will there be another package for that?

Hello everyone, there has been an exciting announcement just moments ago regarding ZFS. directly: http://www.open-zfs.org/wiki/Announcement It appears that the ZFS filesystem has been forked and further development will be done on this new branch outside of Oracle by the open source community. However, I have not found any indication that the licensing will change. I am work so I cannot go any deeper. I will be sending an email to the arch-dev-public mailing list about ZFS being added to the official repos. I have been maintaining the packages for the last six months and have had very little reports of problems from users, or issues compiling against new kernel versions. It has been a breeze maintaining these packages, and all credit goes to the upstream developers. They have done a wonderful job with the speed and stability of their support. Cheers.

I uploaded a DKMS version of the SPL/ZFS modules/utils chain. See https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zfs-dkms-therp

@demizer Not auch Problem for me. I will not work on it before wednesday anyhow.

@hlaube, well the demz-repo-archiso is out of date... I am working on a script right now to notify me of out of sync repos. I will update it when I get home. Once I have the time to setup my scripts and perform the update, I will report back to you. That should be sometime tonight or tomorrow. Sorry.

@demizer I have booted installer-cd 2013.08, added your repo as described, loaded archzfs. The kernel is 3.10.5-1 as the archzfs is calling by its dependencies. What I am planing is to set it up as a root filesystem, if that will not work, I will boot that server, I am building, from a separate disk. Preferred ist root on zfs.

@hlaube, are you using the archzfs repo? If so, those packages will only work with the default 3.10.5 kernel. If not, how are you attempting to install the packages? Are you trying to use ZFS as a root filesystem? @megagram, I have never built these packages for the lts kernel, but there should be no problems. Have you tried "modprobe zfs" or "depmod -a" ? What is the log output from your efforts?

Anybody have success building this on the linux-lts kernel? The two methods below from last year do not work for me. Modules are built and in /usr/lib/modules/3.0.89-1-lts/ but I cannot load them. Always syas module not found. Thanks.
