ZFS dkms build fail after updating kernel

fhc · Dec 1, 2017

Hi,

Since many weeks, I have a problem when I update the Proxmox kernel : when rebuilding ZFS, DKMS fails. After some googling, I finally open a thread here and hope someone will be able to help me

First, during the update :

Code:

I can see that there is a version mismatch between some packages : 0.6.5.11 vs 0.7.3. There is no 0.7.3 for these packages in the Stretch repo, and I don't know which packages are still mandatory (updated from Jessie a few months ago). My zpools still work, even after I reboot on the new kernel (keeping the old one as backup).

I found some posts giving manual fixes in dkms/spl conf files, re-compiling manually ZFS etc, but I'd rather prefer to stay Proxmox-compliant... The only one I tried is to add a post install hook to dkms to ensure I will work with the correct version, but it is not working :

Code:

root@lrdf-srv-proxmox1:~# cat /etc/dkms/spl.conf
POST_INSTALL="scripts/dkms.postbuild -a ${arch} -k ${kernelver} -v ${PACKAGE_VERSION} -n ${PACKAGE_NAME} -t ${dkms_tree}"

Any advice ? :'(

why do use zfs-dkms? as Proxmox VE got all zfs modules integrated, no need to compile.

mbaldini · Dec 1, 2017

I don't think you should have zfs-dkms installed

Code:

$ apt-cache policy zfs-dkms
zfs-dkms:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 0.6.5.9-5
  Version table:
     0.6.5.9-5 500

Thanks guys ! This server was a long time ago a NAS, not a Proxmox node. I removed zfs-dms, spl-dmks and zfsutils, seems to be ok

Long time ago? ZFS was integrated in Debian Stretch (an provided in Jessie backports), so it cannot be sooo long - or we have different ideas about time :-D

There was a ZFSonLinux repo before the packages arrive in Debian backports. This server (and 6 others at work) have been running ZFS on Debian Jessie for more than 2 years, that's prehistoric !

Proxmox VE delivers fully integrated ZFS since 2 years and 10 months.
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Roadmap#Proxmox_VE_3.4

In 3.3 (more than three years ago) we already got ZFS in the kernel, but not in the ISO installer.

Just to add some facts here.

and he was explicitly not talking about PVE :-D

Okay, we actually perceive time very differently :-D
