Error when updating

Hi Everyone...

Whenever I update OMV6 I always get a zfs dkms error. The updates finish installing (as it indicates no updates after installing).

I'm using kernel 6.1.10-1 pve and the zfs plugin. All other non pve kernels were removed. When I originally installed OMV6 I installed the kernel first then the zfs plugin.

Here is some of the outputs when I do a command line update:

Any thought or suggestions? The OMV system is running fine and I have no problems other than this error

Thanks for you help

I found a post that was similar. It suggested removing zfs-dkms but it looked like it messed things up

What is the purpose of zfs-dkms? Would it impact the zfs plug-in and pve kernel and access to the pool if I remove it

Thanks ryecoaaron for responding. I only use the pve kernal. I had removed all the other non pve kernels. Is there a list I could refer to that are essential zfs packages for the pve kernel?

ryecoaaron Thanks again for your response. I reviewed some other posts you had regarding similar issues. Before I commit to removing dkms, could I share some details with you to get your thoughts.

These are the results of different commands:

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

python3-distutils python3-lib2to3

Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.

The following packages will be REMOVED:

zfs-dkms*

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

After this operation, 18.0 MB disk space will be freed.

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

Your opinion, think it should be fine to commit the changes to the purge zfs-dkms?

Should I do a update-initramfs -u

Sorry for the multiple posts. Still learning the deeper details of OMV6

Thanks again

Edward

ryecoaaron Thanks again for responding. I committed the changes using sudo apt-get purge zfs-dkms then update-initramfs -u then rebooted. Once in OMV6 I used the ZFS plugin to import the pool.

Did a command line update and no errors!

Thanks again for you help ryecoaaron

Very appreciated!

Edward
