See Install Arch Linux on ZFS#Installation. If an 'insmod' error is produced, try depmod -a. Test the installation by issuing zpool status on the command line. These branches have (according to them) dependency on the zfs-utils package. zfs-dkms-git AUR for development releases for versions with dynamic kernel module support.zfs-dkms AUR for versions with dynamic kernel module support.

zfs-linux-zen-git AUR for development releases for zen kernels.zfs-linux-zen AUR for stable releases for zen kernels.zfs-linux-hardened-git AUR for development releases for hardened kernels.zfs-linux-hardened AUR for stable releases for hardened kernels.zfs-linux-lts-git AUR for development releases for LTS kernels.zfs-linux-lts AUR for stable releases for LTS kernels.zfs-linux-git AUR for development releases (with support of newer kernel versions).Install from the archzfs repository or alternatively the Arch User Repository: Tip: You can downgrade your linux version to the one from archzfs repo if your current kernel is newer.

ZOL is a project funded by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to develop a native Linux kernel module for its massive storage requirements and super computers. This requirement, however, does not prevent a native Linux kernel module from being developed and distributed by a third party, as is the case with (ZOL). Being licensed under the CDDL, and thus incompatible with GPL, it is not possible for ZFS to be distributed along with the Linux Kernel.

ZFS is licensed under the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL).ĭescribed as 'The last word in filesystems', ZFS is stable, fast, secure, and future-proof.

The only PCIe Gen4 link in the system is x4 between the CPU and the X570 chipset.īut since this Server should be limited performance-wise by the Intel XL710 with 2 x 40 GbE anyway I think I’m now pretty happy with the mentioned configuration and stop tinkering with that as of yet experimental system.īut that ZFS Server has nothing to do with the Windows system I wanted to directly use ZFS RAIDZ2 on mentioned in the first posting here.ZFS is an advanced filesystem created by Sun Microsystems (now owned by Oracle) and released for OpenSolaris in November 2005.įeatures of ZFS include: pooled storage (integrated volume management – zpool), Copy-on-write, snapshots, data integrity verification and automatic repair (scrubbing), RAID-Z, a maximum 16 exabyte file size, and a maximum 256 quadrillion zettabyte storage with no limit on number of filesystems (datasets) or files. The configuration seems to work fine but stability testing is a pain in the ass due to shitty SFF-864 cables, but I’ve given up on PCIe Gen4 here since the Delock 90504 is PCIe Gen3-only (but I initially wanted to have a configuration that could handle PCIe Gen4 without having to replace the two used quite pricy Icy Dock MB699VP-B V 1 for MB699VP-B V2 )

2 x Intel Optane 905P 480 GB, 1 x via CPU M.2, 1 x via X570 U.2.

Intel XL710 QDA2 gets its 8 PCIe Gen3 lanes from the X570 chipset.

Broadcom HBA 9400 8i8e gets the other 8 CPU PCIe lanes (8 internal SATA SSDs, 2 external SAS 3 expanders for up to 2 x 24 SAS/SATA.

8 x U.2 NVMe hot-swappable in two backplanes (PCIe Gen3) (drives connected via Delock 90504 PCIe Gen3 x16 AIC with Broadcom PEX8749 PCIe switch, the PCIe switch gets 8 PCIe lanes from the CPU.

Back to practical considerations… how’s windows iSCSI performance? Can you use a pair of 40G nics and mount a zvol?Ĭurrently I’m still building my dedicated 2 x 40 GbE ZFS Server:
