The more recent Ubuntu kernel packages provide ZFS + SPL as built-in modules to avoid having to rebuild the modules with DKMS. This saves time and space on disc as well as the added advantage of knowing that the modules will always be installable and will work on kernel updates.
The recommended practice (as you noted in the workaround) is to avoid using the dkms zfs + spl modules by uninstalling them. The dkms modules are only provided now for user who use their own custom kernels and want to build ZFS against their kernels. I therefore suggest removing the ZFS + SPL dkms modules as the standard recommended solution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1920956 Title: ZFS module cannot be loaded after Kernel 5.4.0-67-generic release AND if the system has zfs-dkms and spl-dkms packages installed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs-linux/+bug/1920956/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
