A new kernel was released today for the arch linux. Currently, the zfsonlinux in the aur was not adapted on it. I really won't blame demizer, i just want to inform the users out there. My zfsonlinux automake tool was updated since there was a bugfix. Now everything should be fine :-).2013-01-30 22:05
Edit Since today, everything is up and running :-).
ant system-full-upgradeis doing all for you :-D.
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.
So my task was to execute 'slock' when my notebook suspends. Since it depends on how your system is configured, i only can give you two links where find the answers. systemd hooks pm-utils hooks
I am using the zfsonlinux for quite a long time now. For nearly a year, i switched machine by machine from different linux distributions to archlinux. Since switching to the cutting edge and uptodate distribution, i build the zfsonlinux from the arch linux aur on my own, update per update. This process was ok since i used zfs only on one machine for a longer time. But at the end of last year a usb harddrive predestined to be a zfs drive. At this time, the zfsonlinux is spreading out over alle machines which ends up in doing the zfsonlinux task machine per machine. Since i am getting tired and frustrated by wasting so much time and doing the same stuff each time, i started to implement a process to build the aur zfsonlinux on an arch linux system automatically.
Today, i am proud to present your the result, an apache ant based make environment. The project is available on github.com. All you have to do is install apache-ant, clone the previous mentioned repository, change in the cloned repository directory and call ant on your shell. I hope you enjoy it. Part of the manual.
