Hi list, I would like to use OpenZFS on my backup server. Reading from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openssh/openssh-portable/master/contrib/re... I can install it using two different methods:
DKMS kABI-tracking kmod
I would avoid using dkms because a compilation could fail and cannot mount my devices on the next reboot but I don't know anything about kABI method.
OpenZFS by default uses DKMS method. What is the most secure method?
Thank you in advance.
Unless you're actually looking at the source before it compiles I wouldn't really say one is more secure than the other. I've had good luck with both options - generally kmod on supported kernels and DKMS for some special cases.

Hi, thank you for your answer. I use the released kernel so the kmod method should work without any problem.
I will try and if problems occur I will try to ask here or on OpenZFS media.
Thank you again.
