Arch Linux User Repository

@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...

I submitted this as a pull request to the alleged upstream mentioned in the PKGBUILD a while ago, but I guess that is derelict.

https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/pull/11468 and https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/pull/11861 added support for compatibility option files that greatly improve sharing/migrating pools between systems (or at the very least allowing that possibility) while using recent features.

The following diff installs the needed files.

There is a bug in zfs which causes a core dump during "zfs send" when compiled with GCC 12.

Only if you alter the defaults and set march=zenver3. If you're doing this sort of thing then you're more likely to hit upstream bugs, and therefore upstream fixes are what's needed.

If the kernel parameter is set to root=zfs, the system is unbootable because the pool variable is not set in the initcpio hook. Adding ZFS_DATASET="bootfs" under line 177 of zfs.initcpio.hook fixes this issue.

There is a bug in zfs which causes a core dump during "zfs send" when compiled with GCC 12. A workaround is to force compiler flag -fno-tree-vectorize. See here: zfs issue 13605

gentoo has already added that flag to their ebuild files. I recommend to add this to zfs-utils PKGBUILD as well. I am not sure about zfs-dkms. May be this flag should be added there too as a precaution.

Can you add provides=('zfs-utils=2.1.4') to the PKGBUILD? The various zfs-linux packages require zfs-utils=2.1.4 which the pkgver 2.1.4+65.r05147319b0 doesn't satisfy.

Please update the initcpio hook to support encryption (https://github.com/eli-schwartz/pkgbuilds/issues/30). The last update cost me some time to recover my system (yes, I should have put the hook to /etc/initcpio/hooks to prevent overwriting, but it would still be nice to get encryption support out of the box).

Hi there, thanks for the package.

I was browsing my file system and was surprised to see that I had files in /usr/var/run!

I fixed this by adding --localstatedir=/var to the configure options.

Possibly consider adding "libaio" as (build) dependency. The configure script has checks for libaio.h.

Edit: Never mind. Seems like libaio is only used for test cases. Sorry for the noise.

@pizzatoole: Check out eschwartz's pinned comment beginning "This package doesn't support people who have failed to read".

I get this when trying to makepkg:

==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg...

⁤ ⁤ ⁤ ⁤ ⁤zfs-2.1.1.tar.gz ... FAILED (unknown public key 0AB9E991C6AF658B)

==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified!

Edit: Thanks @wjlafrance. I've used makepkg before without signature problems, so I mistakenly thought it was a package issue. I was a little concerned at first as harmful AUR packages have existed before (albeit very uncommon). I now know this isn't the case with this version.
