[SOLVED] ZFS backports does not install on latest deepin

kneutron · 04-17-2019, 01:26 PM

I get an error message trying to install ZFS from backports. Anyone else dealing with or have a fix for this? On other distros I've had to go back to an older kernel.

Well now it's not booting at all, I get error message "cannot open access to console, the root account is locked." Press Enter to continue -- and it just loops after hitting Enter.

Did you edit and change your /etc/fstab file?

I did, turns out there was an external disk that wasn't powered on. But this is only one of the reasons I hate systemD with the power of 1,000 burning suns.

After finally getting it to boot in single-user mode (and powering on the disk):

I'm not fond of systemd either. This is why I run Slackware.

The error that you have says to look in the log.

Code:

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.15.0-30deepin-generic (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/zfs/0.6.5.9/build/make.log for more information.

There is also a conflict and a break of some pkg's.

Code:

Conflicts: zfs, zfs-fuse
Breaks: zfs-dkms (>> 0.7.12-1~bpo9+1), zfs-dkms (<< 0.7.12-1~bpo9+1)

Agreed APT has always done a great job at dependency resolution.

Code:

 No targets specified and no makefile found

This happens mostly because there is no file "makefile" in that directory.
Make sure you are in the correct directory before you execute ./configure.

I think you are going to need someone that is very good with compiling:-
It looks to me that you are missing dependencies along with pkg's that are suggested. Also, I've never seen that configure error before and I'm not familiar with spl objects.

Code:

 Please make sure the kmod spl devel <kernel> package for your
*** distribution is installed then try again.

So ZFS is now installed and working correctly?

--Yep. It's all good now.

--FYI: I needed the latest ZFS available cuz of dual booting Deepin on a 2011 iMac (with reFind installed on both sides) and 10.13 High Sierra + ZFS 1.8.2.
The Mac side has newer ' zpool upgrade ' options that required making a pool with constrained capabilities if you wanted to use it in both OSes, which I am now going to test to see if that's still needed with the newer ZFS packages:

# HTH if anyone needs it
# Run this on the Mac side and chmod +x it -- useful if you are running say, ubuntu 18.04 / older zfs version on linux side

BEGIN zpool-create-dual-boot-compatible.sh

Code:

#!/bin/bash

# create ZFS pool that should be cross-boot compatible and import OK

# REF: https://www.reddit.com/r/zfs/comments/b092at/cant_import_pool_from_zol_to_bsd/
# REF: https://zgrep.org/zfs.html  # zfs by-OS compat. chart

Glad to hear all is good now.

Thanks for the update and the details.
