ZFS on RockPro64 Armbian current image

[clariion]

Hi all,

I am a newbie here.
Is there a way to install ZFS on RockPro64 RK3399 with the latest Armbian release (doesn't matter if it is bionic, buster or focal)?

After a few hours, I finally made it with current Focal release. Thanks to @jbergler

Did you try ppa:jonathonf/zfs at any point?

No. Do you have created it?
Seems to be much better way to install zfs.

Yes, that's my PPA. It works fine for x86_64 but I haven't tested on arm64 though I don't know why it would be any different.

Thank you Jonathon.

I'm running Armbian 22.08.2 Jammy with Linux 5.15.69-rockchip64 (RockPro64 as a NAS server so ARM64)

and it worked for me.

here is what i did :

 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/zfs
sudo apt update
sudo apt install zfs-dkms zfs-zed zfsutils-linux

sudo zpool status

i can't thank you enough.

Actually, I spoke too fast :

I redid everything on a clean system, and using your PPA was not enough.

Here is the full list of commands that worked :

```

 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/zfs

sudo apt update

git clone https://github.com/nathmo/makeZFS_armbian

cd makeZFS_armbian

sudo python3 makeZFS_armbian.py

sudo apt install zfs-dkms zfs-zed zfsutils-linux

 

```

(the whole RockPro64 NAS setup is on github (i'm not allow to paste the link nor modify my previous post. Sorry about that)

if of any use to someone : nathmo/makeZFS_armbian)

I Had to fork from the original script to fix a broken tab and the python version that was deprecated.

I also document the rest of the instruction to duplicate my setup

@nathmo, I will take a look - I was considering trying out ZFS on my rockpro64(s).
