Thank you. So realistically nothing can be done (other than downgrading the kernel) until the updated zfs-dkms also appear in the RPiOS repos? Or could I try building zfs-dkms from source and then retrying the script above?

@satmandu what's the best way currently to install the 2.0.x zfs-dkms (and related) on 5.10.x (raspberrypi os)?

@jimmont Easiest way would be to upgrade to bullseye, as zfs 2.0.x is already there: https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/zfs-dkms

(The only pain in upgrading to bullseye was that IIRC I had to upgrade to gcc-9 and remove some gcc8 library package which I no longer needed which was holding up other package upgrades.)

(This is assuming that you are on the 64 bit Raspi-OS of course.)
