Arch Linux User Repository

@ronnylov, copy http://pastebin.com/jTZUusG5 to /usr/lib/systemd/system/zfs.service for the time being. I will update the packages in AUR once kernel 3.6.8 is out of testing. Thanks!

Directories shared by sharenfs=on are not automatically shared after reboot when moving from rc.conf to zfs systemd unit file. I have to manually export and import my pool to make it enable the sharing again. How can I solve this? Maybe I have to make sure zfs is started after the nfs services...

The ZFS package has been updated to pkgrel 4. Changes include: * mkinitcpio updates for the initramfs install hook. * Cleaned up mkinitcpio install hook help documentation (mkinitcpio -H zfs). * Added a systemd unit file The systemd unit file allows the mounting of zpools at startup. This also makes it possible for the ZFS packages to not have to depend on initscripts for initialization. If ZFS is your last hold out for initscripts, like it was for me, you can now remove initscripts. The usage of the new unit file is pretty typical for systemd unit files: # systemctl enable zfs # systemctl start zfs # systemctl status zfs # systemctl stop zfs I have not fully tested all of these changes, especially in the updates to the mkinitcpio install hook. But they are not considered dangerous or data threatening. The systemd unit file only calls 'zfs mount -a' and 'zfs unmount -a' for example. To be on the safe side, make sure you have good backups before performing any updates ALWAYS.

@falconindy, thanks for the heads up! Will do.

Hi, this mkinitcpio hook is going to break soon. Please avoid using MODULES and SCRIPT and use the functions "add_module" and "add_runscript" instead.

@ronnylov, So sorry! I pushed packages that didn't have any kernel modules in them, yikes! I have changed my procedures so this doesn't happen again. In this case, instead of building from scratch, I repackaged. Somewhere in development the kernel modules got deleted. I also didn't perform a proper test before pushing the repository. There won't be future packaging errors like this as I now have a checklist. Thanks for the report!

I fixed it by installing the zfs and spl packages from AUR instead from the repository.

I use arch-zfs and have reinstalled arch-zfs, rebooted and tried everything but I get following error when trying to load zfs: modprobe: FATAL: Module zfs not found. Something is wrong...

The packages have been updated for kernel 3.6.7. If you installed the packages from AUR, you will need to first remove the zfs and spl packages:: # pacman -Rsc spl-utils and then update the kernel:: # pacman -S linux linux-headers You will now have to restart your system. Once your system is back up, you can proceed with building and installing zfs and spl, in the following order: spl-utils, spl, zfs-utils, and zfs. Then restart, or:: # modprobe zfs spl You could also use the prebuilt signed repository available at http://demizerone.com/archzfs and you will not have to remove the packages, update the kernel, and restart before performing the update. Also, these new packages now have a group, 'arch-zfs'. So next time you could remove the packages with just:: # pacman -R arch-zfs If usig the signed repository, you can now install all the packages with:: # pacman -S arch-zfs

I am aware of the new kernel update. I will update the packages first thing in the morning. Thanks!
