ZFS Fails With C7 957

Folks

I have two USB connected drives, configured as a mirrored-pair in ZFS. It’s been working fine UNTIL I updated CentOS
from 3.10.0-862.14.4.el7.x86_64
to 3.10.0-957.1.3.el7.x86_64

The import of the pools didn’t happen at boot. When I tried executing:
zpool list I got the diagnostic suggesting I do /sbin/modprobe zfs And that command claimed the module didn’t exist.

YUM claims my updates are all up-to-date.

I had to revert back to 862.

Help?

David

  • You need to go wherever you got your ZFS kernel module and rebuild it for the kernel included in CentOS 7.6.1810. I had to rebuild several of my kmods for the -957 kernels too. If you use a kmod that relies on kernel symbols that are not on the kabi whitelist, you need to rebuild the kmod for every minor release, and probably several times mid release.
