ZFS Setup? - openmediavault (2024)

Zitat von warllo

I have been trying to setup ZFS on Open media vault and have no success.

Hard to help without some information.

I've read through some post and it sounds like it may not be possible due to some issues with Debian source.

What posts? zfs works fine on my systems and many others.

All I could say is that OMV + ZFS works fine.

There were issues recently with the 4.15 backport kernel (not the OMV fault), and there is a known bug to be solved with the panel of the ZFS plugin (soon I assumed).

But all in one, OMV 4.x + ZFS plugin is rock solid and a nice combo. Feel free to go with it.

Setting up openmediavault-zfs (4.0.2-1) ...
modprobe: FATAL: Module zfs not found in directory /lib/modules/4.14.0-0.bpo.3-amd64
dpkg: error processing package openmediavault-zfs (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Processing triggers for openmediavault (4.1.5-1) ...
Restarting engine daemon ...
'omv-engined' trying to restart
'omv-engined' stop: '/bin/systemctl stop openmediavault-engined'
'omv-engined' start: '/bin/systemctl start openmediavault-engined'
Errors were encountered while processing:
openmediavault-zfs

Above are the result of running apt-get install openmediavault-zfs

The process I used:

Install open media vault on bare metal using openmediavault_4.1.3-amd64.iso
Run all updates via gui
Upload extras plugin
Run updates again
install zfs plugin, failed to install reference linux headers
I then tried a new install from cli using apt-get install openmediavault-zfs and received the same error.

I was following the procedure here:

Personnaly, I've gone with a CLI ZFS install and then added OMV plugin.

https://linuxhint.com/install-zfs-debian/

Add the 'contrib' and 'non-free' to the debian packages conf in /etc/apt/sources.list
Refresh

apt-get update

# ln -s /bin/rm /usr/bin/rm# apt-get install zfs-dkms

Then check with:

# modprobe zfs# lsmod | grep zfs

Reboot (not sure, but that wouldn't hurt to check)

Install openmediavault-zfs plugin with the GUI.

Now, create your pool, etc...

Thanks sbocquest I'll have to give this a if I can't complete the install via openmedia vault directly.

The zfs plugin depends on linux-headers-amd64 which is pointed at the headers for the 4.15 kernel right now. You need need to install the 4.15 kernel.

I think i have properly update the kernel.

Here are the results of uname -r

root@openmediavault:~# uname -r
4.15.0-0.bpo.2-amd64

I think have the kernel updated however the zfs install is hanging on Building initial module for 4.15.0-0.bpo.2-amd64

I finally was able to get it installed. I think I was missing some linux headers.

I now have the ZFS listed under storage however when I go to create a pool it isn't showing any of my devices.

After a quick wipe of all devices. Things are now working. Thank you everyone for your help!
