Hi list, I would install ZFS on my backup server. It runs Almalinux 9.3 and actually it saves data on RAID1 MDADM.
From what I read I can install ZFS from OpenZFS repositories for EL and choose between kABI tracking or DKMS.
I read that using kABI module I will have problem when a new minor release will be released because I must wait that the kABI module from OpenZFS repo team should be built to support the new kernel. Have someone used the kABI module? How many time you need to wait the new module? Are they quick releasing it?
The other method is using DKMS, so at every kernel update I need a DKMS recompilation with a possible problem during recompilation. Ok I will have the old module with the previous kernel that will work. How much DKMS recompilation problem occours?
What is the best method in your experience?
Thank you in advance.
Alessandro.
