Hello,
Thanks for the links, but I was looking for an image of any possibility to install ZFS.
I tried to compile ZFS but the image is with kernel: 5.10.110
And in repositories there is only linux-headers-5.10.0-21-arm64
I will try to make a micro storage server with 2 SSD drives connected directly to the NanoPI. I don't use USB to Sata.
There are two reasons why I like the NanoPi series
I have NanoPi R4SE, R5S, R6S
1. More than 1 physical network port, I know there is a USB to LAN, but I've had problems with such a card, on a RaspberyPi 4
2. The fact that they have a factory passive cooler.
I use them as micro servers and I really hope Armbian make images for them. (R5S and R6S)
So far I have tested several options
- OpenWRT - I ran into a missing modules issue there, it was from a snapshot.
- DietPi - this is actually from friendlyelec, the only thing more is that it supports discard/trim on the memory card. Extremely cluttered with supporting scripts that I don't know if they can be removed.
- To one of the developers, but there, no matter how much I delete the built-in flash, it refuses to load from the memory card.
- And accordingly friendlyelec - The problem is that you cannot redo the initrd. Or at least I didn't understand how. As well as the lack of linux-headers for the kernel it comes with.
And I want to thank the Team who made armbian for NanoPi R4S(E), you did an amazing job.
I think it's the only image I've tested where I was able to run everything I needed while testing.
I was especially very pleasantly surprised to see that the brd module is not compiled inside the kernel, but as a module.
Which allowed me to do raid1 tests between ram drive and iscsi.
I also have the following question, what exactly needs to be done to get a kernel image to which a module can be compiled.
I'm willing to waste time and energy to help, I just don't have experience with these kind of processors. If it needs to be compiled I have somewhere to use a compilation resource.
Regards,
