Nicola Zilio Posted November 24 Posted November 24 (edited) Dear all, I am trying to install ZFS on my ODROID N2+ without success. I am sure this question has been asked before, but I don't think the answers I found are still relevant, unfortunately. Linux odroid 6.6.47-current-meson64 #3 SMP PREEMPT Mon Aug 19 04:04:32 UTC 2024 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux BOARD=odroidn2 BOARD_NAME="Odroid N2" BOARDFAMILY=meson-g12b BUILD_REPOSITORY_URL=https://github.com/armbian/build BUILD_REPOSITORY_COMMIT=89476e86f LINUXFAMILY=meson64 ARCH=arm64 BOOT_SOC= IMAGE_TYPE=stable BOARD_TYPE=conf INITRD_ARCH=arm64 KERNEL_IMAGE_TYPE=Image KERNEL_TARGET=current,edge KERNEL_TEST_TARGET=current FORCE_BOOTSCRIPT_UPDATE=yes FORCE_UBOOT_UPDATE= OVERLAYDIR="/boot/dtb/amlogic/overlay" VENDOR="Armbian" VENDORDOCS="https://docs.armbian.com" VENDORURL="https://www.armbian.com" VENDORSUPPORT="https://forum.armbian.com" VENDORBUGS="https://www.armbian.com/bugs" BOOTSCRIPT_FORCE_UPDATE="yes" BOOTSCRIPT_DST="boot.cmd" VERSION=24.8.4 REVISION=24.8.4 BRANCH=current Using armbian-config, I installed the kernel headers, and also the full firmware for good measure.

Solution Nicola Zilio Posted November 25 Author Solution Posted November 25 Hi @Igor, Thank you for following up on this! In the end, coincidentally I think, I managed to get it to work. I saw that a new armbian package was available via apt. I installed it, and because it included kernel 6.6.61-current-meson64, I saw that when this was being built, one of the steps was to write the headers for ZFS. I restarted my board, and now ZFS works. 0 Quote
Nicola Zilio Posted Sunday at 09:55 AM Author Posted Sunday at 09:55 AM @Igor, I have now upgraded to kernel 6.6.63 and in the process ZFS support was removed. The compilation process even stated that it would do that because some module was missing. I don't really understand why it would do that. Here's the link for the output of armbianmonitor -u, https://paste.next.armbian.com/axogecixoy. Thanks in advance. 0 Quote
Nicola Zilio Posted Sunday at 11:52 AM Author Posted Sunday at 11:52 AM Ok, once again, I found a solution, though I don't understand why the following needs to be done: I uninstalled ZFS support via armbian-config I installed again ZFS support via armbian-config I force-installed the relevant package apt install --reinstall linux-headers-current-meson64 0 Quote
Igor Posted Sunday at 03:57 PM Posted Sunday at 03:57 PM There are some troubles, some caused by us, some by 3rd party. Improved mechanism is about to be merged https://github.com/armbian/configng/pull/308 0 Quote
Nicola Zilio Posted 6 hours ago Author Posted 6 hours ago (edited) @Igor, I'm sorry to bother about this again, but after an additional upgrade, things have gotten even more complicated. When I try to enable ZFS support I get the following error Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done zfs-dkms is already the newest version (2.2.7-0arter97~ubuntu22.04.1). Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: zfsutils-linux : Breaks: zfs-dkms (> 2.2.6-0arter97~ubuntu22.04.1...) It seems that zfsutils-linux and zfs-dkms are incompatible. Edited 5 hours ago by Nicola Zilio 0 Quote
