 Posted: Sun Dec 10, 2017 6:07 pm Post subject: genkernel and zfs can't co-exist? |
 |
|
My server uses zfs, which is a fine system for managing storage.
I also use genkernel to build updated kernels.
My server is still using profile version 13, support soon to come to an end, and so it's time to update that. I decided to build a new system from the ground up using that new profile.
Built the kernel with genkernel, then tried to emerge in zfs. Genkernel blocks this, so unmerged genkernel and merged in zfs to get around it for now.
| Code: |
emerge genkernel
!!! PORTAGE_BINHOST unset, but use is requested.
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.52.4-r2 USE="-cryptsetup (-ibm) (-selinux)"
[blocks B ] <sys-kernel/genkernel-3.5.1.1 ("<sys-kernel/genkernel-3.5.1.1" is blocking sys-fs/zfs-0.7.3)
* Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be
* installed at the same time on the same system.
(sys-fs/zfs-0.7.3:0/0::gentoo, installed) pulled in by
sys-fs/zfs required by @selected
(sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.52.4-r2:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
genkernel
For more information about Blocked Packages, please refer to the following
section of the Gentoo Linux x86 Handbook (architecture is irrelevant):

What do I need to do to make genkernel and zfs co-exist in the same system? I don't use a zfs file system for root or any of the OS, that's on a separate hard disk and separate file systems from the storage pools. |

This line: | Code: | | [blocks B ] <sys-kernel/genkernel-3.5.1.1 ("<sys-kernel/genkernel-3.5.1.1" is blocking sys-fs/zfs-0.7.3) |
says that genkernel must be at no less than version 3.5.1.1 for zfs to be installed. Since you've unmasked zfs, I assume you know where to go from here.

Thanks John. Got it now. I guess I need more practice reading the diagnostic output from emerge.
Well, can only come from practice and asking questions.
Thanks. |
