Squeeze and ZFS

AnalBeard · 07-13-2011, 04:16 PM

Ok, so I've very recently upgraded from Lenny as I intended using ZFS for my RAID setup, however I'm unable to install the package, apt tells me it is unable to locate the zfsutils package, even though I have the following line in my sources.list:

Code:

deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free

any ideas?

edit: just in case it's asked for, uname -or gives '2.6.32-5-amd64 GNU/Linux'

further edit: it would appear I rather jumped the gun and should have done a little more research. Apparently zfs is only available on the kfreebsd port of Debian, and it's not installable on vanilla Debian. Am I correct in thinking this?

Yes.

PS: Debian gnu-kfreebsd is already a mature port and fully functional if you need ZFS.
