odroidhc4 with 5.13.9-meson64, missing ZFS modules

[ChrisO]

Hi

I have Odroidhc4 with the following kernel:
root@odroidhc4:/opt# uname -a
Linux odroidhc4 5.13.9-meson64 #trunk.114 SMP PREEMPT Mon Aug 9 01:19:39 UTC 2021 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

Installed from:
Armbian_21.08.0-trunk.116_Odroidhc4_hirsute_edge_5.13.9.img

And I'm missing ZFS modules.

root@odroidhc4:/opt# dpkg -L linux-modules-5.11.0-25-generic | grep zfs
/lib/modules/5.11.0-25-generic/kernel/zfs

I feel lost and would be gratefull for any assistance.

armbian-config -> software -> install_headers

[ChrisO]

I had them already installed. Reinstalled with armbian-config, no change. I'm missing the zfs modules which, if I understand correctly, are provided by linux-modules*

and I cannot find linux-modules.

 

root@odroidhc4:~# ls /lib/modules/5.13.9-meson64/kernel/

Nope. Armbian is not Canonical.

 

You should do some forum search - there are many happy ZFS users around here. Me included. 

 

sudo apt install zfsutils-linux zfs-dkms

 

... but unfortunately there is a bug in headers which needs some time. That is on you to fix or wait ... but it can take months since bug is with us also months.

 

Workaround is using stable kernels (current). You can switch to them within armbian-config, install headers there and install dkms package again.

OK, trying from scratch:

1. Installed current image: Armbian_21.05.4_Odroidhc4_buster_current_5.10.43.img.xz

2. apt update

 got some of those recently quite famous "Hash Sum mismatch" *) errors:

Tried again and it worked, go figure why.

 

3. apt upgrade

 This upgraded the kernel to 5.10.57-meson64

 

4. apt install linux-headers-current-meson64

5. apt install zfsutils-linux zfs-dkms

 

ZFS is there.

 

*) Recently, few weeks ago, most of my Debian based systems started to fail on "apt update"  with this "Hash Sum mismatch" error.

Cannot figure out what the problem is. The "solution nr. 1" fro google, rm -rf /var/cache/apt/* /var/lib/apt/lists/* doesn't help.

We need to extend repository index synchronisation timeout from 1 day to several days since mirrors doesn't get in sync in this time frame. The problem is that current main rsync server is slow (only 50Mbps upload in total), but is cheap and has no traffic limits.

 

We know how to solve this, but we lack time: https://armbian.atlassian.net/browse/AR-789
