RHEL does not support ZFS on GNU/Linux natively. Therefore, we need to install it from a third-party repository.
Here is the link to the original OpenZFS documentation.
Further, I’ll provide the steps required to install ZFS on the RHEL 10 distro.
DKMS variant
subscription-manager repos --enable codeready-builder-for-rhel-10-$(arch)-rpms
dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-10.noarch.rpm
dnf install https://zfsonlinux.org/epel/zfs-release-3-0$(rpm --eval "%{dist}").noarch.rpm
yum install -y kernel-devel
yum install -y zfs
echo zfs >/etc/modules-load.d/zfs.confkABI-tracking kmod
Alternatively, there is a kABI-tracking kmod variant of the ZFS module. Still, I’ve faced a situation where the kABI kmod didn’t keep up with the upstream when upgrading to newer minor distro versions. Thereby I recommend to stick to the DKMS option.
