FYI all I ended up doing to get zfs running on fedora 38 was: Add the fedora 37 zfs repo rpm dnf install zfs --releasever=37 (this downgraded some packages). And the install failed to build dkms due to the following comment/bug in kernel 6.2.9 then I followed those steps in the comment. https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/14658#issuecomment-1489671067

Fedora 38 has now been released. I am interested in upgrading to it, and could use the dnf repository for zfs and Fedora 38.

@edgan the plan is to build/release the F38 dkms packages once we're able to get a successful test run on F38. In the short term, you can use the zfs-2.1.10 F37 dkms packages on F38 as a stopgap.

[tonyhutter]

Quick update - I ran a first test of zfs-2.1.11 on Fedora 38 and it didn't go well:

Results Summary
PASS	 1269
FAIL	 119
SKIP	 204
KILLED	   5

I'll see if I can track down what's going on. Hopefully it's just a configuration change or something simple.

For anyone interested, using the kwizart/kernel-longterm-6.1 kernel from https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/kwizart/kernel-longterm-6.1/, and Fedora 37 zfs repo on Fedora 38 zfs-2.1.11 seems to be working well.

Steps to install:

dnf copr enable kwizart/kernel-longterm-6.1
dnf install kernel-longterm kernel-longterm-devel
# Optionally remove other kernels: dnf remove kernel-core-6.2.*
# reboot
# Edit /etc/yum.repos.d/zfs.repo and replace "$releasever" with 37
dnf makecache
dnf install zfs
modprobe zfs

Will keep following for progress though, but this seems a simple workaround for the time being.

[tonyhutter]

Some progress - I've now narrowed it down to only two real test failures:

Tests with results other than PASS that are unexpected:
    FAIL pam/pam_basic (expected PASS)
    FAIL pam/pam_nounmount (expected PASS)

Looking into those..

[tonyhutter]

Ok, we accounted for the test failures. I pushed out the F38 RPMs now.

[seanjnkns]

@tonyhutter - were you going to push a new zfs-release for FC38? There doesn't appear to be one, so it requires installing the FC37 one to pull down the FC38 packages, if you're already on FC38.

[edgan]

I upgraded my system that uses zfs to Fedora 38, and it works. Going to @seanjnkns's point, yes, the release package seems to be missing. I still have a fc37 release package.

[SimonGreenaway]

ZFS packages for FC38 are now available (mainstream not testing).

[tonyhutter]

@seanjnkns thanks for the heads-up on zfs-release - I just pushed it out:

rpm -e --nodeps zfs-fuse
dnf install -y https://zfsonlinux.org/fedora/zfs-release-2-3$(rpm --eval "%{dist}").noarch.rpm
dnf install zfs

[edgan]

I ran the command below and that did upgrade the release package on Fedora 38. But just doing a dnf update did not. It seems the package doesn't force an upgrade. Which it could with epoch.

dnf install -y https://zfsonlinux.org/fedora/zfs-release-2-3$(rpm --eval "%{dist}").noarch.rpm
