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 2.3.1 supports kernel versions 4.18 - 6.13. When the kernel 6.14 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Please do not mark this package as out of date without checking the kernel compatibility first.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!

I just wanted to let you know, that Buildbot wasn't able to push the latest build to the AUR.

Cannot build even in a chroot.

BruceR commented on 2021-12-27 07:16 (UTC)

@Egns if you want to build the zfs-linux package yourself you can use a chroot jail to perform the actual build. Update the kernel in the chroot to the version required by the build. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot

From there you can copy the package file to a custom local repository and add the repository to your /etc/pacman.conf. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Tips_and_tricks#Custom_local_repository

There seems to be a bug where zfs mount/mount of encrypted datasets/zvols fail silently (https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/12418). The upstream bug report doesn't seem to have gotten any attention in two months; does anyone know if it's an issue local to Arch?

FYI: this doesn't compile with kernel 5.14, seems a new release is coming soon:

@Kevdog, Because this package is compiled against the specific Kernel package version currently in the Arch repos, whenever a kernel update gets posted to the Arch repos (which happened a couple of days ago), this package goes out-of-date until a new version is compiled, tested, and posted to the arch-zfs repo that corresponds to the correct kernel version.

Kevdog commented on 2021-09-14 03:24 (UTC)

Why was this package flagged out of date?

Egns commented on 2021-07-27 17:57 (UTC)

Thanks @ginger and @dmp1ce for your comments.

I was not using archzfs repo and did not add any mirrors for zfs-linux installation. I am installing it directly from AUR by yay. I will try to add mirrors for archzfs repo.

dmp1ce commented on 2021-07-27 15:04 (UTC)

Yes, I'm using the archzfs repo and I just wait until the zfs-linux and zfs-linux-lts is in sync so Pacman can update. Subscribing to the email updates here helps me time the updates.

ginger commented on 2021-07-27 12:45 (UTC)

@Egns Are you using one of the zfs-linux mirrors? If you are, I think you likely are upgrading just inside the mirror update time. There is a lag between when a new version is pushed to the zfs-linux master and when it gets percolated out to all the mirrors. For instance, my mirror updates on a random minute every hour, so there is some lag between when a package gets pushed by the maintainer and when the package is available on the mirror pacman/yay are looking at.
