Zfs zed will build zfs dkms

[Alessandro 123]

Installing zed from debian repository, as wrote on proxmox wiki, will build Al old zfs version with dkms

I'm almost sure that this will break zfs shipped with proxmox

I think zed should be shipped in proxmox repository without ZFS dependency, or, even better, add zed in standard proxmox iso

Any work around for using zed without building a new ZFS module via dkms?

We already ship that package, so I am not sure what you are talking about.

And without manual instal, zed is not present in PVE 5.1, as you can see, i've installed the debian one:

# dpkg -l zfs-zed

The same is wrote on your wiki:

Is PVE ZED only available with subscription ? (i'm subscribed, but still not activated the enterprise repo in this server, it's brand new, with install finished a couple of minutes ago)

...

No.

This will happen ONLY if you did not installed Proxmox VE correctly with a valid Proxmox VE update repository.

[Alessandro 123]

I've seen. Adding the enterprise repo fixed the issue.
A question: in a standard installation, adding a proxmox repo (pve-no-subscription or enterprise) is mandatory?

Because in some servers we don't want un-tested packages coming from "pve-no-subscription" and at the same time, we don't need the enterprise level.

In other words: or we add the enterprise repo, or we must use unstable packages coming from "pve-no-subscription" ?

 

[tom]

Sorry, I do not get your question. If you want the most stable updates, go for the enterprise repository. Upload the key and your are done, the easiest way and recommended if you run in an production setup.

 

[Alessandro 123]

Ignore my question, I've not seen that a standard PVE install doesn't have any PVE repository configured thus all updates are only coming from debian

A default Proxmox VE installation has the enterprise repository in the sources.list. But of course, you need to upload a key to get it running.
