Yes, it is a fair point that I've not demonstrated that it can actually be made to work yet, I'm working on that part,.... and as you say, it's also a fair question to ask how much impact compiling those drivers as modules has on systems not using them. That latter question I /can/ answer. The increase in the kernel in memory is about 5MB, and the increase in the /lib/modules/ is about 26MB I did notice when I went through the build process to make a new kernel/image (That's pretty impressive work BTW, great job!)... that there is a distinction between a server and desktop image... obviously in the server build this wouldn't be a thing, and the desktop image would probably be useless on a machine that couldn't spare 5MB... Point taken tho, I'll post some updates here once it's working.

Hi Armbian_25.5.1_Rpi4b_bookworm_current_6.12.28 broken after last upgrade. I run apt upgrade which installed kernel 6.18.10. It breaks ZFS. Provided ZFS version, 2.3.2, supports kernels up to 6.14. Don't forget a snapshot before "apt upgrade" 🙂 Regards, Chris

Ultimately, once you have this working, you should submit a PR and justify the inclusion of this feature with details on the pros and cons.

How much size does it add? Remember there are a wide variety of boards supported some with limited storage and ram.
