[SOLVED] Can't find /etc/zfs/zed.d directory in Proxmox 4.4

[dnut]

I installed today Proxmox VE 4.4 (ZFS Raid 1) , but I found there is no /etc/zfs/zed.d directory.

I usually uncomment the line:

#ZED_EMAIL_ADDR="root"

inside the file /etc/zfs/zed.d/zed.rc to enable ZFS e-mail notifications, but I found the lack of the entire directory zed.d.

Am I missing something?

Thank you

zed is now a separate package:

# apt-get install zfs-zed

 

[dnut]

Got it!

Thank you

Is ZED not automatically installed with ZFS? I thought ZED is an component inside of ZoL code? (https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/tree/master/cmd/zed)

Just recently the illumos FMD ZFS logic was ported to ZED (Commit)

Is ZED not automatically installed with ZFS?

It is just packaged as extra package, so all you need to do is:

# apt-get install zfs-zed

Sorry for hijacking this old thread, but I've got the "same" problem.
I've got a fresh install of pve 4.4.1 where I get this when I try to install ZED.

[100] % sudo apt-get install zfs-zed

Package zfs-zed is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'zfs-zed' has no installation candidate

This is what my source.list looks like:

[100] % cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib

# security updates
deb http://security.debian.org jessie/updates main contrib

And these are the available *zfs* packages for this machine:

You need to configure the correct proxmox repositories:

https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Package_Repositories

 

[sodden]

Thanks!
The "No-Subscription" repo was missing. Thought that was in the sources.list.d/ like the enterprise repo.

Any reason why this isn't the default configuration ? Or do I just have a wonky install ?!

 

[dietmar]

Any reason why this isn't the default configuration ?

We configure the pve-enterprise repository by default.

 

[sodden]

I guess that makes sense for an enterprise product .
But maybe you could add a checkbox/dropdown in the installer to switch either repository on or off. Just a thought.

If I apt-get install zfs-zed on Proxmox 5, it seems to want to drag down a lot of dependencies including zfs-dkms, spl-dkms, linux headers etc. - almost as if ZoL isn't already installed (which it was, I've been able to create zpools, ZFS storages etc.). I hoping this won't conflict with what's already there, but not sure.

Is this installation method still the authorised one?

yes. I guess you don't have your PVE repositories configured correctly (there is only pvetest for PVE 5 Beta, no no-subscription or enterprise) and are actually trying to install the stock Debian Stretch ZFS packages (which have a dependency on zfs-dkms, since Debian does not ship a compiled zfs module).

 

[Martin Maisey]

Thanks Fabian. Setting up with pvetest worked perfectly.
