Just finally upgraded Zorin OS 16.3 core to 17.3 core and keep getting a compatibility error with with zfs. zfs-dkms keeps trying to load module 2.1.5 and its not compatible with kernal 6.8.How do i install a newer version of zfs? if i try sudo apt upgrade it deletes module 2.1.5 than trys to reinstall. If i try to use sudo apt install zfsutils-linux same thing. If i try sudo apt autoremove same thing also happens. Removes the module and trys to reinstall the same one. I had exported my ZFS pool before upgrading, and inported it after install. The upgrade said it failed but currently seems to run fine saying it is on 17.3. My ZFS pool does show online and i can access it even though it shows error processing the package. Not sure what to do.
Checking apt policy zfs-dkms, it shows that 2.1.5. is correct for Jammy.
This is a good example of why maintainers need to be careful of what they limit or set as depends, instead of just copy/pasting.
What you can do is remove zfs-dkms, then install OpenZFS which supports up to kernel 6.15:
open zfs tells you to install zfsutils-linux as i tried to do earlier. So i deleted zfs-dkms than installed zfsutils-linux and it installed 2.1.5 again, dont understand why it doesnt download a newer version of zfs
ppa can work?
The issue here is, however, not a need for the "latest" ZFS package, rather, that the current 2.1.5 package supports later kernels. It boggles the mind that the maintainer did not allow for it...
