This is where my knowledge of Linux falls short.
is the package you installed for ZFS a DKMS kernel module, or a binary one?
In both Fedora and Silverblue I find the same, ZFS-related files, under /usr/sbin/

Also, ztest
does something
verifying concrete vdev 0, metaslab 11 of 12 ...
loading concrete vdev 0, metaslab 11 of 12 ...
verifying concrete vdev 0, metaslab 11 of 12 ...
I assume, therefor, that OpenZFS exists, however the kernel is not loading the related module.
Binary, library or something else - how can I tell?
Thank you! This is the page where I discovered that I can try
rpm-ostree kargs --append=modprobe=zfs
, which didn’t work.Still, as far as I understand it, ublue managed to overcome this, as they do offer a Fedora version with zfs included.
What am I missing?
