@Win8Error,

This package doesn't support people who have failed to read the wiki page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg, or cannot interpret error messages.

aarch64 is not an officially supported architecture for this PKGBUILD, since I don't exactly test it on such architectures. It failing to work is therefore not very surprising.

I guess you can do any necessary followup in that upstream bug report, hopefully upstream can get it into a state of "working out of the box" so that makepkg --ignorearch works. But I'm not investing any of my own time in this...

@darkbasic - thanks for your heads up. I read the github link and your post. Haven't run into any 6.8 zfs problems yet (only been a day), but I don't run Docker or Steam.

Noted on your 15931 backport. Please let me know when you believe a future PKGBUILD is good to go!

Cheers

@air-g4p Btw I highly suggest you to NOT use kernel 6.8 with zfs yet: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/15930

I've backported https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/pull/15931 in my own tree but I won't release it in a public PKGBUILD until it reaches master.

@darkbasic - Glad you are watching carefully. When we inexorably transition to the 6.9-x kernels, I would be happy to test your proposed PKGBUILD.

Please let me know when available.

Cheers

Good news: zfs-utils installed and operates correctly against the 6.8.0 linux and -zen kernels released today, 11 March!

6.8 compat patches made their way into the 2.2.3-staging branch just days before the 2.2.3 release, but it's a rare occurrence. Most likely by the time 6.9 stable gets released there won't by any support in any released version. I'd like to add official patches to the PKGBUILD to remedy that but the current maintainers are against it, so I'm going to create my own package. Stay tuned if you are interested.

I've just added the patch for the file corruption issue.

Hello,

I posted this in zfs-dkms, but it seems this is a zfs-utils issue. I was told libzfs is owned by zfs-utils.

I froze my kernal at 6.4.12-arch1-1 and had zfs 2.2.0 running since it came out.

Yesterday, my power went out, and when the machine came back on, my zfs pool wasn't mounted. I used:

sudo zpool import -a -d (etc)

I receive:

Failed to initialize the libzfs library

I get the same error with zfs set.

I rebuilt the zfs-dkms and zfs-utils packages and reinstalled, with the same result.

What is the solution?

The PKGBUILD uses --libexecdir=/usr/lib/zfs which leads to files installed in the directory /usr/lib/zfs/zfs instead of /usr/lib/zfs. This can be avoided by using --libexecdir=/usr/lib, which is also what archzfs.com does.

libexecdir is only used to set zfsexecdir to ${libexecdir}/zfs. I couldn't find any other uses in the source code.

@gromit Yes, I am aware. I noticed it immediately after I pushed, so it was too late.

Hey @kstolp, you forgot to reset pkgrel to 1 for this release :) https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD#pkgrel

I just noticed because I had already updated the package locally ^^
