OMV6: Unable to install openmediavault-zfs 6.0.9

luisfmrosa · May 20th 2022

Hi,

I have just upgraged from OMV 5 to 6.

I cannot see anymore my ZFS drives.

I'm trying to install the plugin openmediavault-zfs 6.0.9, but it's failing as below:

Reading package lists...

Building dependency tree...

Reading state information...

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

or been moved out of Incoming.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

zfsutils-linux : Depends: libnvpair3linux (= 2.1.4-1~bpo11+1) but 2.0.3-9 is to be installed

Depends: libuutil3linux (= 2.1.4-1~bpo11+1) but 2.0.3-9 is to be installed

Depends: libzfs4linux (= 2.1.4-1~bpo11+1) but 2.0.3-9 is to be installed

Any ideas on how to solve this?

Thank you!

Are you using the proxmox kernel?

raulfg3 · May 21st 2022

as ryecoaaron say, please install proxmox kernel prior to trying to instal zfs plugin

luisfmrosa · May 26th 2022

Thank you for your suggestions.

I installed the kernel plugin and then tried to install proxmox. But it failed:

Code

Is there another way to install proxmox ? Through extras ? I'm using an odroidhc4 hardware...

error is : omv-installproxmox install': Unsupported kernel and/or processor

what processor do you have?

luisfmrosa · May 26th 2022

It's an odroid HC4, I think processor is a CortexA55 (ARM 64-bit).

Zoki · May 26th 2022

There is no proxmox for ARM.

luisfmrosa · May 26th 2022

But in OMV5, I had zfs... my disks are in zfs ...

Shall I rebuild them in other FS? Btrfs ?

Soma · May 26th 2022

Isn't it just a matter of updating the initramfs with the zfs module?

Similar to raspiOS?

I know how to do it for btrfs on raspiOS, but not on armbian.

Zoki · May 26th 2022

You can use zfs without the proxmox kernel, it just is not as comfortabe.

The zfs plugin may do this on the pi or do it manually:

Code

sudo apt install raspberrypi-kernel-headers
sudo apt install zfs-dkms zfsutils-linux

luisfmrosa · Jun 9th 2022

Well, guess there is no much sense on installing raspberrypi-kernel-headers on my odroidhc4, right?

After searching armbian forum, I did a few things:

- upgraded through armbian-config to the 'edge' version of the Kernel (5.17.5-meson64 #22.05.1 SMP PREEMPT Sat May 28 08:20:29 UTC 2022 aarch64 GNU/Linux), but my issue persists

- when I log in via ssh, it shows 'Buster', but when I checked on /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, all my files were referencing bullseye, not buster

So after replacing 'bullseye' by 'buster', I managed to make the command below work:

Bash

sudo apt install zfs-dkms zfsutils-linux

But after a reboot, zfs is still not available:

Code

# zfs version
The ZFS modules are not loaded.
Try running '/sbin/modprobe zfs' as root to load them.
# /sbin/modprobe zfs
modprobe: FATAL: Module zfs not found in directory /lib/modules/5.17.5-meson64

Any ideas on how to fix this without wiping everything and reinstalling from zero?

Thank you,

Luis

You need to add the zfs module to the list of modules that system loads on boot. If you install the zfs plugin, it will do this. Otherwise, as root:

echo "zfs" > /etc/modules-load.d/zfs.conf

luisfmrosa · Jun 9th 2022

Thank you for your quick answer.
Just ran the echo command, and restarted... still not working:

Code

# whereis zfs
zfs: /usr/sbin/zfs /etc/zfs /usr/share/man/man8/zfs.8.gz
root@odroidhc4:~# zfs version
The ZFS modules are not loaded.
Try running '/sbin/modprobe zfs' as root to load them.
root@odroidhc4:~# modprobe zfs
modprobe: FATAL: Module zfs not found in directory /lib/modules/5.17.5-meson64
root@odroidhc4:~# ls /lib/modules/5.17.5-meson64/
kernel         modules.alias.bin  modules.builtin.alias.bin  modules.builtin.modinfo  modules.dep.bin  modules.order    modules.symbols
modules.alias  modules.builtin    modules.builtin.bin        modules.dep              modules.devname  modules.softdep  modules.symbols.bin

I'm really sorry to bother you all with this.

ryecoaaron · Jun 9th 2022

You either built the module for the wrong kernel or it failed to build. You also need to make sure you are building zfs 2.1.4 to support the 5.17 kernel.
