ZFS again

[ChrisO]

Hi

I was using:

Title:                  Armbian 21.08.5 Odroidhc4 Debian buster legacy

 

Then something bad pushed me to run apt update/upgrade

 

No ZFS anymore.

Installed 22.08.2, but, when tried to install kernel headers using armbian-config, result: "grep: invalid max count" message.

What is the current correct way to install Armbian with ZFS?

 

Thanks

ChrisO

header install fails or ZFS compilation?

[ChrisO]

Started armbian-config, selected "Software", error message appears: grep: invalid max count
Selected "Headers_install", again error message from grep. Headers not installed.

Installed headers with:
apt install linux-headers-current-meson64

Result:

ZFS package on Debian is too old for 5.19.y ... You need 2.1.5. I only manage to bring it up to Ubuntu, while on Debian another afternoon. Which I can't afford.

Try getting updated packages, perhaps with those from Ubuntu will work. Dunno.

And also this looks odd. Do you perhaps have both (edge and current) kernels + headers installed? Perhaps you didn't reboot on upgrade?

Installed from scratch, Armbian_22.08.1_Odroidhc4_jammy_current_5.10.139.img

apt update/upgrade
apt install zfs-dkms zfsutils-linux

Forgot the linux-headers.
Started armbian-config, selected "Software", error message appears: grep: invalid max count
Selected "Headers_install", again error message from grep. Headers not installed.

Installed headers with:
apt install linux-headers-current-meson64
then
dpkg-reconfigure zfs-dkms

Result:
