I'm trying to get an overview of the correct steps/sequence for installing OMV7 and ZFS on a ROCKPro64.
(yes I know some people think ZFS on an SBC is overkill, but I've been using it for years just fine with zero issues since I only use the "base" features of ZFS, nothing fancy, don't worry, I just like it much more than RAID)
(I'm basically trying to go from OMV6 to OMV7 with a clean install)
As far as I see it, the sequence would be:
- install minimal Bookworm armbian
- in armbian-config change the kernel version to a mature kernel version for which a header-package is available (like "Linux 6.6.63-current-rockchip64")
- in armbian-config, install kernel headers
- exit armbian-config, install zfs-dkms and zfsutils-linux, zfs-dkms uses headers to build ZFS module
- install OMV
- after finishing OMV setup, install OMV extras, then install the OMV-ZFS plugin
- create/import ZFS pool, Bob is my uncle
Is any of this wrong?
EDIT:
ah, and after step 3 I would set the kernel and related packages to be on hold and prevent updates
