[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] Bug#900656: Make ZFS upgrades in backports more reliable

[Michael Wyraz]

Package: zfs-dkms
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainers,

I do run zfs-dkms on several servers and on my desktop (currently on 
stretch-backports). I am also running the stretch-backport kernel 
because I need some recent kernel features. Unfortunately, zfs-dkms 
builds broke several times in the past. The reason was always that the 
backport kernel was upgraded but this upgrade was not synchronized with 
a zfs-dkms upgrade.

My big wish is that zfs-dkms upgrades on backports and kernel upgrades 
on backports could be coordinated in a way that prevents that a kernel 
upgrade breaks the zfs file system. Otherwise it's not possible to use 
this combination in a production environment (or any other kind of 
environment that is important to work).

Best regards,

Michael.
