License incompatible installing zfs-zed on Proxmox 5.4

[Jota V.]

Hi, I've used Proxmox 5.3 with zfs-zed receiving events generated by the ZFS kernel module with no problems at all.

I've reinstalled all nodes with Proxmox 5.4 and during zfs-zed I got this.

apt-get install zfs-zed -y

Licenses of ZFS and Linux are incompatible

ZFS is licensed under the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL), and the Linux kernel is licensed under the GNU General Public License Version 2 (GPL-2). While both are free open source licenses they are restrictive licenses. The combination of them causes problems because it prevents using pieces of code exclusively available under one license with pieces of code exclusively available under the other in the same binary.

You are going to build ZFS using DKMS in which way they are not going to be built into one monolithic binary. Please be aware that distributing both of the binaries in the same media (disk images, virtual appliances, etc) may lead to infringing.

It's safe to continue installing?

Seems you do not have a Proxmox VE repository configured.?
Please check and post the output of:

> apt-get update

 

[Jota V.]

No, it's not configured. You don't recommend for production use. It's safe to run in production?

# PVE pve-no-subscription repository provided by proxmox.com,
# NOT recommended for production use
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve stretch pve-no-subscription

Yes, we recommend the enterprise repo for production.
