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 2.3.2 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.

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Please do not mark this package as out of date without checking the kernel compatibility first.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

Although I don't use this particular PKGBUILD (I build my own), I have no problems running rc12 on my system which is ZFS throughout - root/boot and all, every filesystem is ZFS.

@proxypoke You are not alone, I too use ZFS on root with Arch. I actually might one day write about my slightly elaborate setup which envolves having /boot also on ZFS so that when things go wrong like they did when I updated to 3.6 and ZFS stoped working, I can simple zfs rollback and everything inluding the kernel and initramfs are rolled back :) I haven't yet upgraded to rc12, but what seems to be the problem? At what point during the boot does it fail?

demizer commented on 2012-11-16 05:17 (UTC)

The build tool source code is up at http://github.com/demizer/archzfs. I also updated the wiki to reflect the new repository. My next cause is to start looking into systemd support and then DKMS.

proxypoke commented on 2012-11-15 22:14 (UTC)

I will have to add a warning to my earlier enthusiasm: rc12 doesn't seem to be useable as a root fs - or at least not as far as I have tried. Since I somewhat doubt that there are a lot of (if any) people besides me who try to run Arch on ZFS, so this shouldn't be too important. Just thought I 'd mention it.

I think you should add your repository information to the wiki. It would be helpful for newcomers to ZFS without having to search through this page's comments.

@proxypoke, thanks for the notification! The packages have been updated to 0.6.0-rc12. I have been working creating a unofficial repository for the Arch ZFS kernel modules. The database and packages are signed with my PGP key, see http://demizerone.com/archzfs/ for more info and instructions on how to add my repository to pacman and add my key (0EE7A125) to your keyring trust. My signed repository and packages are pre-built _x86_64 packages. See http://demizerone.com/archzfs/ for more info. The github master branch for the build tool is not yet up to date. I will have that up and ready sometime tomorrow. cheers
