15:00 <DC-IRC> <Алексей Песорин> You need to rebuild the kernel with ZFS support

15:02 <DC-IRC> <Werner> Hm did not keep up on that one. zfs dkms broke at some point because the maintainer passed away IIRC.

15:03 <DC-IRC> <Алексей Песорин> Copy over the old config from the installed system, clone the latest `linux-sunxi` source from the https://git.kernel.org, move the config file to the cloned directory and rename to `.config`, do `make oldconfig` and `make menuconfig`, in the menu go to Filesystems - Other - ZFS, enable, go back, exit and save, and finally do `make -j$(nproc)`

15:03 <DC-IRC> <Алексей Песорин> Oh

15:03 <DC-IRC> <Алексей Песорин> Zad

15:04 <DC-IRC> <Werner> ZFS is not part of the Linux kernel by default due to license conflicts.

15:04 <DC-IRC> <Werner> (and probably never will unfortunately)

15:04 <DC-IRC> <Алексей Песорин> Really? Pretty sure I saw the ZFS thing in the "other" tab under the filesystems tab

15:05 <DC-IRC> <Werner> Yeah because Armbian used to ship it by default 🙂

15:06 <DC-IRC> <Werner> merge the sources to say

15:06 <DC-IRC> <Werner> But grabbing the sources from git.kernel.org wont give you ZFS

15:06 <DC-IRC> <Werner> But grabbing the unmodified sources from git.kernel.org wont give you ZFS

15:07 <DC-IRC> <Алексей Песорин> I thought ZFS was added to mainline in like 2010 but sure I guess

15:07 <DC-IRC> <Алексей Песорин> Actually, lemme check

15:09 <DC-IRC> <Алексей Песорин> Oh, it really is missing

15:10 <DC-IRC> <Алексей Песорин> Interesting

15:10 <DC-IRC> <Werner> I am pretty sure there were efforts to mainline it at some point

15:11 <DC-IRC> <Алексей Песорин> But yeah

15:11 <DC-IRC> <Алексей Песорин> https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Getting%20Started/index.html follow this

15:12 <DC-IRC> <Алексей Песорин> https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Getting%20Started/index.html follow this in that case

15:15 <DC-IRC> <Алексей Песорин> I wonder if one of the kernel devs can just DM one of the OpenZFS devs and say something in the words of "can you pls double license this thx uwu"

15:16 <DC-IRC> <Werner> I assume if it would be that easy we would have had ZFS in mainline for ages now

15:18 <DC-IRC> <noimnull> thanks 🙏

15:18 <DC-IRC> <noimnull> btw i switched to manjaro was able to compile zfs there

15:19 <DC-IRC> <noimnull> will try this armbian compile and let you know 👍

15:19 <DC-IRC> <noimnull> do you know any guide to compile this on x86pc?

15:20 <DC-IRC> <noimnull> do you know any guide to cross compile this on x86pc?

15:30 <DC-IRC> <Алексей Песорин> Are you talking about the kernel or OpenZFS?

15:30 <DC-IRC> <noimnull> kernel

15:32 <DC-IRC> <Алексей Песорин> As we just determined the kernel won't help, but if you wanna cross compile anyway, you can do:

15:32 <DC-IRC> <Алексей Песорин> `make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-` and `make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=armeabif-linux-gnu-` for arm64 and armv6/armv7 respectively

15:37 <DC-IRC> <Алексей Песорин> For ZFS, do: ```bash

15:37 <DC-IRC> <Алексей Песорин> ./configure --build=aarch64-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

15:37 <DC-IRC> <Алексей Песорин> ``` instead of just `./configure`, all other steps stay the same

15:47 <DC-IRC> <noimnull> why wont the kernel help?

15:48 <DC-IRC> <noimnull> openzfs build doesnt work on armbian

15:48 <DC-IRC> <noimnull> openzfs build doesnt work on armbian with default kernel

16:25 <DC-IRC> <Алексей Песорин> Hmmmm

16:25 <DC-IRC> <Алексей Песорин> You could try then
