The ZFS modules are not loaded

[dmitri don]

Hello,

Followed instructions and installed zfs, rebooted, installed all updated via apt update and apt upgrade, rebooted and situation is like this:

 

root@helios64:~# zpool status
The ZFS modules are not loaded.
Try running '/sbin/modprobe zfs' as root to load them.

root@helios64:~# modprobe zfs
modprobe: FATAL: Module zfs not found in directory /lib/modules/5.10.21-rockchip64

 

root@helios64:~# apt install zfsutils-linux

root@helios64:~# uname -a
Linux helios64 5.10.21-rockchip64 #21.02.3 SMP PREEMPT Mon Mar 8 01:05:08 UTC 2021 aarch64 GNU/Linux

 

Any suggestions?

Go to Software and install headers.

 

nano /etc/apt/sources.list

//optional not necessary if above went ok, this includes the extras now.

#+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

connect to OMV localhost:80, change ssh /  omv port to another port if you want for your reversed http tunnel in putty. (when you work remote)
go to update management -> check -> update to latest version  (5.6.7-1 usul) kernel 5.10.35-rockchip64
go to OMV-extras -> tick extra repos and back ports to green -> save
updates -> run update, run omv-update, run upgrade, run dist-upgrade, run apt clean

 

go to plugins -> scroll down and install openmediavault-zfs 5.0.6
Install all other plugins you need. (install luks after openmediavault-zfs, also encryptionspeed is 3,5 times faster than in zfs itself)

I am not sure if you want OMV with it. My guess that your problem is kernel header related.

 

Please let me know if this is a help to you

 

Kr,
