ZFS problems on latest CSS install (20170303)

Hello all,

I have some problems with using ZFS on de CSS release 20170303, I can install, but after a reboot I get this message:

[   23.531811] spl: version magic '4.9.13-calculate SMP preempt mod_unload ' should be '4.9.13-calculate SMP mod_unload '
[   24.501613] spl: version magic '4.9.13-calculate SMP preempt mod_unload ' should be '4.9.13-calculate SMP mod_unload '

I did a similar install yesterday, but another system and CLS instead of CSS, but there is ‘just works’… (also 201709303)

When I try a manual ‘modprobe zfs’, I get the following error: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert ‘zfs’: Exec format error

Regards,

Angelo

So that the zfs module boots, compile the sys-kernel/spl package from the sources:

FEATURES="-getbinpkg" sys-kernel/spl

We will now remove the binary package from the repository, which is associated with the kernel during the build.

Just updated my home workstation to kernel 4.9.17 and spl is acting up again (CLS install), missing .config and pointing to wrong (fixed?) kernel directory. It points to the previous 4.9.13 kernel directory, which is not there anymore offcourse. The “FEATURES=-getbinpkg” gives me the same error…

Where does the symlink /usr/src/linux point?

it points to linux-4.9.17-calculate
