I enabled the backports repo under OMV-extras and then tried to install the zfs plugin again.
Unfortunately it didn't make any difference and still failed to build zfs-dkms package (probably because I am running a split 64/32 bit system).

I then downloaded the current source for the openmediavault-zfs deb (5.0.4) and managed to build it on my Pi for armhf.
So I then removed the offending zfs-dkms and zfs-utils dependencies and rebuilt the deb.
I installed this manually using dpkg. (maybe I could have done the same using dpkg --exclude-package, but it didn't work last time, but maybe that was because it was v3)

Anyway, it seems I have managed to get the plugin loaded and so far it looks like it's working with my prebuilt zfs modules!
Now I've got to try and set up my NAS properly and see how this tests out.
Thanks for all the pointers.

I read that too somewhere, but isn't that only relevant to the amd64 environment? Does it relate to the Raspberry Pi as well?

I'm currently looking at the zfs plugin source and it looks like the only link to building zfs is a deb dependency on zfs-dkms, zfsutils & zfs-zed. I reckon if I can remove those, I might be able to install the plugin by itself and use my existing zfs build.
Guess I'm going to have to learn how to make debs because I've never done that before. Can't be too hard...can it? Let's see...

I think it is not possible to use the OMV ZFS plugin with 32 bit systems. It only supports amd64.

Certainly I can't use the part of the plugin that attempts to build zfs-dkms, but the plugin itself is just php so that part should work shouldn't it, given I have a working zfs installation already? Maybe I have to deconstruct the openmediavault-zfs.deb file?

No, but this might be of help and could be worth your while testing prior to an OMV install

I actually followed this tutorial to build zfs 0.8.3 on that 64-bit kernel by way of a debian64 nspawn thingy(?) then installed OMV. But when I try to install the zfs plugin it wants to build zfs-dkms and stomp all over my previous zfs installation.

I want to use OMV5 as a backup/fileserver NAS on a Raspberry PI4 4GB with a 6TB HDD.
I plan to duplicate this setup externally and sync the 2 NAS systems.
I've installed OMV5 several times, and had a play with LVM2, but I've decided to use ZFS instead of LVM2 for more versatility and for sending snapshots between the 2 systems.
I've already managed to compile ZFS on the Pi4 using a 64-bit kernel with 32-bit Raspbian and had a play with that

My problem is in trying to put OMV and ZFS together.
When I try to enable ZFS in the plugins, it wants to re-install zfs-dkms and this then fails (probably because it really needs a 64-bit userland to build zfs properly...?)

Has anyone had any experience with this?
Is it possible to install the zfs plugin without re-installing the zfs kernel modules.
Or should I be looking at another 64-bit OS like Ubuntu? I already tried debian64, but I didn't get ZFS installed on it properly.
