    Hello everyone,


    I am trying to enable the backports to get the new version of zfs-linux.

    ryecoaaron wrote on GitHub to open a thread in the forum and post the log. I am not familiar with omv and Linux in depth and I hope this helps.

    That looks fine. What is the output of: apt-cache policy zfs-dkms

    omv 7.6.0-1 sandworm | 64 bit | 6.11 proxmox kernel

    plugins :: omvextrasorg 7.0.1 | kvm 7.0.16 | compose 7.3.3 | cputemp 7.0.2 | mergerfs 7.0.5 | scripts 7.0.9

    Hello ryecoaaron

    Thank you for your fast reply.

    Here is the output:

    apt-cache policy zfs-dkms

    zfs-dkms:

    Installiert: 2.1.11-1+deb12u1

    Installationskandidat: 2.1.11-1+deb12u1

    And there's part of the problem. Even though the code is pinning zfs* at 500, your system is still pinning it at 100 meaning it needs to be manually installed.

    Code
    $ cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/omvextras.pref
Package: zfs*
Pin: release a=bookworm-backports
Pin-Priority: 500


    The issue is that you are adding contrib to the regular debian repo. If you didn't add that, zfs from backports would be the only option and just install.

    Not sure why you are adding contrib. Does the following fix the pinning issues?


    sudo sed -i 's/500/600/g' /etc/apt/preferences.d/omvextras.pref

    sudo apt-get update

    apt-cache policy zfs-dkms

    Hello,


    I did not add anything there. (I do not even know where I should have added something, tbh.


    This is the output after your commands:

    Code
    apt-cache policy zfs-dkms
zfs-dkms:
  Installiert:           2.1.11-1+deb12u1
  Installationskandidat: 2.1.11-1+deb12u1

    the contrib repo is not enabled by default on debian netinst or omv iso. I would remove the word contrib from /etc/apt/sources.list


    I don't know why pinning is broken on your system. I will look into when I have time but I don't have any systems with this issue.

    Ah ok, so I should remove it in every line here?

    Sorry for my dumb question. I am not that familiar with changing lists or configs in the system without knowing what I am doing :D

    Now I am waiting for the 2.3 release of zfs for backport

    I had a discussion with a coworker who has been a Solaris admin since before zfs was released and even runs zfs at home. Both of us agree that the new zfs expansion feature does not make sense. I really hope this doesn't bite a lot of home users.

    When I first read about this change a few years ago, I thought they said the vdev was not going to be expanded. Since the vdev is expanded, I guess there is no worry other than letting the change bake.
