Solved How to update ZFS to 2.2.2 version?

[Gumlokt]

There are OpenZFS 2.2.2 & OpenZFS 2.1.14 Released To Fix Data Corruption Issue.
Command zfs -V shows 2.2.0 version on box with fresh installation of FreeBSD 14.0-Release.
How to correctly update OpenZFS on FreeBSD 14.0-Release to 2.2.2 version?

2.2.2 is not part of 14.0-RELEASE. But there was patch update for it, so what you need is just update your system ( with freebsd-update or other way ). 2.2.2 is part of stable/14.

even more, there is patch2 for 14-RELEASE, which has even more ZFS fixes.

ZFS is part of FreeBSD base, so just use freebsd-update(1) to install the latest patches. For this specific issue, see also https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-EN-23:16.openzfs.asc

I updated the system using freebsd-update up to 14.0-RELEASE-p2 version.
But the zfs -V command still shows version 2.2.0

Newer version of OpenZFS won't be merged into an existing release. Not allowed. It'll be merged in -CURRENT first, then it may get MFC'ed to stable/14 (so it'll be included with the next 14.1-RELEASE).

Specific, breaking, bugs in a -RELEASE might get fixed, that's what the Errata Notices are.

 

[angry_vincent]

this is expected. You do not have 2.2.2 version in 14.0-RELEASE-p2. You have patches ( by means of cherry-picks applied on top of 2.2.0 ) which fixes that notorius ZFS issues.

2.2.2 already in stable/14 for some time.

It was a more 'general' remark, simply put, the version of OpenZFS is stuck on 2.2.0 on 14.0-RELEASE for it's entire lifetime (lifetime of 14.0, not the entire 14 branch).

I don't understand, is there any way to update the zfs version without recompiling the kernel on FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE-p2?

 

[zirias@]

The bug you're worried about is fixed, so why do you care about the ZFS version?

I assumed that after fixing the bug, the zfs -V command should show 2.2.2 version. But it looks like I'm wrong

If you really want 2.2.2 for the non-safety fixes then you have to upgrade to 14-STABLE by compiling yourself.

The bug that was fixed in 2.2.2 is also fixed in the patched version of 2.2.0.

Hi, the simplest set of answers might be:

• you need not update ZFS
• relevant goodness from OpenZFS ZFS 2.2.2 is in FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE-p2.

p2 represents patch level 2.

Yes, important thing to note here is that only a few selected patches have been backported to the OpenZFS 2.2.0 of FreeBSD 14.0. The version of OpenZFS in 14.0-RELEASE did not change.
