I don't think ZFS 2.1.x is maintained any more. Could you try with 2.2.6?

rgessner commented 2 weeks ago

2.1.15 is still the version in the "official" RHEL repo here. se also: https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Getting%20Started/RHEL-based%20distro/index.html

I think 2.2.6 will work, but i need some time to test this. Maybe the RHEL repo should be updated if 2.1.15 ist no longer supported.

AllKind commented 2 weeks ago

You could just run configure to see if the check passes. Which could also help others.

wanghz10 commented 2 weeks ago

Version 2.2.6 seems to be working. You can enable zfs-testing to install.

dnf config-manager --enable zfs-testing dnf upgrade dkms autoinstall

rgessner commented 1 week ago

I can confirm 2.2.6 from zfs-testing (dkms) repo works with RHEL9.5.

Still im shure that a couple of people will run in this issue in a few days, when all the RHEL Clones (Rocky, Alma, Oracle) also bump from 9.4 to 9.5.

Maybe this should be fixed/updated in some way. ;)

llagendijk commented 1 week ago

The testing repo for RHEL9 has 2.2.6 and works for me

ItalyPaleAle commented 1 week ago

I had the same issue when updating RHEL 9 to the latest version.

Germano0 commented 1 week ago

when 2.2.x will be moved from "testing" to "stable" repository for RHEL? From https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Getting%20Started/RHEL-based%20distro/index.html#testing-repositories

These packages should not be used on production systems.

You could just run configure to see if the check passes. Which could also help others.

@AllKind which configure?

I don't think ZFS 2.1.x is maintained any more.

On Github I do see a 2.1.16-staging branch which is newer than the 2.1.15 shipped for RHEL, and last commit is from 7 months ago

yeah guys my plex server was down for an entire 10 minutes... unacceptable.

lol. That's how I discovered the problem this morning too... but mine had been down for over 8 hours. I thought I was the only one running Plex on RHEL!

Thanks all for reporting this. Looks like the new kernel has hit AlmaLinux 9. I've put together a new release PR with the commits needed to get it building again: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/pull/16781

@tonyhutter you can use RHEL for free under certain circumstances (see terms at https://developers.redhat.com/articles/faqs-no-cost-red-hat-enterprise-linux )

mtelka commented 1 week ago

I assume this is a duplicate of #16196.

donvipre commented 6 days ago

this hit also Rocky 9

And PSA: don't forget to dnf config-manager --disable zfs-testing after you're done. Unless you actually want to be on the rolling channel, which you most likely don't.

Also, one-liner alternative to enabling the repo, updating, then disabling it:

dnf update --enablerepo=zfs-testing zfs

This does not seem to work. Is there anything else that's needed?

Edit: I got it to work. Just patching zfs-dkms wasn't enough. Applying the patches to the git repo and rebuilding all rpm's worked. Thanks!

AlmaLinux OS is not 1:1 RHEL clone, AlmaLinux OS Foundation board Jul 13, 2023 has decided to drop the aim to be 1:1 with RHEL:

Now that we will no longer be holding ourselves to being a 1:1 Red Hat downstream rebuild, we are taking some time to consider the possibilities around what that means. We will continue to provide updates around that process and will include the members of the AlmaLinux OS Foundation in that conversation and decision-making process as well. -- https://almalinux.org/blog/future-of-almalinux/

It is more safe to use original RHEL - it is no-cost for development use - https://developers.redhat.com/articles/faqs-no-cost-red-hat-enterprise-linux

Or use Rocky Linux, because Rocky Linux is designed to be 100% bug-for-bug compatible with RHEL.

deajan commented 4 days ago

As far as I understand ZoL supports current and last release, so since we're not far away from OpenZFS 2.3, we safely can enable 2.2.6 on current EL9 since 2.2.x branch will become default for EL9 in a not so far distant feature. @tonyhutter Can you confirm perhaps ? Nevertheless, I'll be happy to stay on the safe side (2.1.x on EL9) until official releases ;)
