I just noticed that ZFS / ZoL 2.0 has been packaged for Leap 15.1 [1]. Thanks!
I am running a few production machines with Leap 15.1 and ZoL 0.8.x and I am considering to update to ZoL 2.0. Has anyone already made any real-world experiences with this update and the new packages on Leap 15.1 (or 15.2 for that matter)?
I was playing around this yesterday as well and noticed there was no DKMS kernel package on openSUSE but only a package with precompiled modules.
Anyone knows why? DKMS is very handy as it makes switching kernels more flexible. With the zfs-kmp-default package, I'm getting ZFS modules for the latest kernel only unless I'm searching through the package archive.
OTOH, one KMP will work not just for one kernel, but for all KABI- compatible kernels. And you are able to have KMPs for multiple incompatible kernels installed at the same time, if you really need that. In general, unless you compile your kernel yourself, you should be doing just fine with the KMP. Regards, Martin
