Hello,
Installing ZFS from the sl-addons repository is failing on one of our
servers. Are there known problems with these packages in the sl-addons
repository? Should I use the ZFSOnLinux project's own repository instead?
A complete description of what I've done to install ZFS follows.
Cheers, John Roberts
SNOLAB
I wish to install the ZFS filesystem on one of our Scientific Linux
servers. Before today, the server ran SL 6.3. ZFS is found in the
sl-addons repo which was not added until SL 6.4. So, I installed
yum-conf-sl6x and ran "yum update" to bring the server up to SL 6.6, and
rebooted after this was done. So far, so good.
After the reboot, I enabled sl-addons in the
/etc/yum.repos.d/sl-other.repo file. We already have the epel
repository enabled on this system (required for dkms).
When I perform "yum install zfs", there are errors displayed while
installing two of the dependency packages:
spl-dkms-0.6.3-1.el6.noarch
cp: cannot stat `/var/lib/dkms/spl/0.6.3/build/spl_config.h': No such file or

file or directory

After this install (which otherwise claims to be successful, even "echo
$?" returns 0), the ZFS programs do not work, and the zfs.ko module
cannot be found:
