Update failed because of ZFS

1st Official Post

    The update proposed today failed with the following error message:


    checking whether fops->fallocate() exists... configure: error:

    *** None of the expected "file_fallocate" interfaces were detected.

    *** This may be because your kernel version is newer than what is

    *** supported, or you are using a patched custom kernel with

    *** incompatible modifications.

    ***

    *** ZFS Version: zfs-2.1.11-1+deb12u1

    *** Compatible Kernels: 3.10 - 6.2

    What kind of system? Assuming it is amd64, I recommend using the proxmox kernel to avoid this.

    omv 7.7.9-1 sandworm | 64 bit | 6.11 proxmox kernel

    plugins :: omvextrasorg 7.0.2 | kvm 7.1.6 | compose 7.6.6 | cterm 7.8.3 | cputemp 7.0.2 | mergerfs 7.0.5 | scripts 7.2

    Starting from :


    Version

    7.6.0-1 (Sandworm)

    Kernel

    Linux 6.1.0-31-amd64


    root@omvt:/usr/src# zfs -V

    zfs-2.1.11-1+deb12u1

    zfs-kmod-2.1.11-1+deb12u1

    Latest updates work for me:

    ppitette You'll have to provide the info ryecoaaron asked for.

    I'm affected by this bug also. On amd64 (FriendlyElec CM3588). Happy to provide full logged info if needed. Don't know if it's relevant but immediately following the text above is:


    Code
    Building module:
Cleaning build area...(bad exit status: 2)
make -j8 KERNELRELEASE=6.12.9+bpo-arm64...(bad exit status: 2)
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 6.12.9+bpo-arm64 (aarch64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/zfs/2.1.11/build/make.log for more information.


    And then that make.log shows this:

    I'll look into proxmox.

    It isn't a bug. zfs 2.1.11 just doesn't support the 6.12 kernel. You need the newest version of zfs from backports for that.

    Quote from macho

    I'll look into proxmox.

    You can't run the proxmox kernel on an arm system.

    On amd64 (FriendlyElec CM3588).

    Minor correction: it's not amd64. It's arm64 and AFAIK, you won't be able to run proxmox kernel (or any other amd64, for that matter)


    The issue must be solved upstream from friendelec

    It isn't a bug. zfs 2.1.11 just doesn't support the 6.12 kernel. You need the newest version of zfs from backports for that.

    Great, thank you. So I just need to "apt install -t bookworm-backports" for that, I assume, if it's in my sources.list?


    And which package(s), exactly? It looks like I don't currently have zfs installed per se, but rather libzfs4linux, openmediavault-zfs, zfs-dkms, zfs-zed and zfsutils-linux.

    If you enable backports in omv-extras, it should pin the packages you need for zfs and they should just install as updates.

    That's the package list anyone running zfs will have on amd64:

    I did so and it seems to have worked without the need for me to worry about specific packages.

    Good to hear.

    ZFS : 4 disks, 8TO each in 1 pool

    I authorized backports packages in omv-extra and then applied the updates. It worked perfectly. Thank you.


    Last question: should I de-validate the backports packages or should I keep them?

    You won't get updates to the packages installed from backports if you disable backports.
