@RodoMa92

Thanks! That’s a great idea.

I’ve added an improved example pacman hook in the package (v3.1.0), installed at: /usr/share/doc/zfsbootmenu/hooks/99-zfsbootmenu.hook

It triggers on zfs-dkms and zfs-linux upgrades and runs PostTransaction. To enable it, copy it to /etc/pacman.d/hooks/99-zfsbootmenu.hook

Once /etc/zfsbootmenu/config.yaml is set up, it should regenerate automatically.

In case someone else needs it, or if the mantainer want to add this to the PKGCONF, I've added a hook that fires on a zfs-dkms package update from pacman. Add this to /etc/pacman.d/hooks/zzz-update-zfsbootmenu.hook (the zzz- part forces this to fire at the end of all previous post transaction hooks, since otherwise the new zfsbootmenu image will use the old driver/initramfs image from the previous build):

[Trigger]
Operation = Upgrade
Type = Package
Target = zfs-dkms

[Action]
Description = Automatically regenerate the bootloader image on zfs-dkms updates
When = PostTransaction
Exec = /usr/bin/generate-zbm

This will automatically regenerate it and avoid a manual run after a zfs flags update (otherwise zfs will refuse to mount it and you will have a broken bootloader image).

Just configure /etc/zfsbootmenu/config.yaml properly and calling generate-zbm will take care of the rest.

HTH.

Why is this using OpenSSL-1.1, which was EOL on 2023-09-11?

Can this be bumped to 3.x?

EDIT 2024-06-03: Wow that was quick. Thanks!

@ScottE: I think I managed to install this package with aurutils by deleting the package's .git directory when aurutils' "package tree viewer" pops up. Though, maybe there are better workarounds.

I tried to use aurutils to install zfsbootmenu, but got the following error. Any ideas?

@andreas303 it's usually a good idea to look through past comments - the solution to this is there, likely resolved in an upcoming ZBM release.

Hi,

Until upstream makes a new release, can you pick the fix from https://github.com/zbm-dev/zfsbootmenu/commit/dae859df631bf994fb412e2b6d46b1179e02e2a5 to allow this to build?

ScottE commented on 2024-03-06 22:30 (UTC)

@Dracul see workaround in 2024-02-04 comment.
