zfsonlinux and kernel 3.7.3-1-ARCH

Posted by artodeto on

The new arch kernel 3.7.3.1 has arrived my machines and guess what happens to my zfsonlinux? Pacman told me "error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)". But this wasn't an error since i know zfsonlinux has dependencies to a well defined kernel number. All i had to do was switching to my zfsonlinux automake utility and run the following steps:

\* ant uninstall \* pacman -Syu \* ant make \* ant clean
*Bam*, everything is working out of the box and i am really satisfied with this little tool. The effort to keep the system up to date while still having the beloved zfsonlinux working is now a minimal one. And if this is still to much, you can easily fork it and add a "for lazy people" target that is executing the four steps from above - lets see, maybe i will do it :-D.
