I have this error too, but it seems that you no longer need the zfs- linux dkms packages on 16.04. Ubuntu ships the ZOL module with the main kernel package. So the fact it wont build is irrelevant. Unless you specifically need to build it out of tree???
The version currently included is: 0.6.5.6-0ubuntu15 http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/ubuntu- xenial.git/commit/?id=8e543f2fd146981d88366f93d2d0b9453e7e507e And the in-tree version was patched to work with posix_acl changes, which have broken then DKMS build. See last patch in the commit here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/ubuntu- xenial.git/commit/?id=37d3c4d67f90135a44c2d23e4546f31dd5b61a44 I'm going to remove the DKMS version from my system, but it's a simple fix for those who want to keep it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to zfs-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1660416 Title: zfs-dkms 0.6.5.6-0ubuntu14: zfs kernel module failed to build Status in zfs-linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: ms core ttf fonts fail to install ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: zfs-dkms 0.6.5.6-0ubuntu14 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-57.78-generic 4.4.35 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-57-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zfs zunicode zcommon znvpair zavl wl ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.5 Architecture: amd64 DKMSKernelVersion: 4.4.0-59-generic Date: Mon Jan 30 12:50:12 2017 DuplicateSignature: dkms:zfs-dkms:0.6.5.6-0ubuntu14:/var/lib/dkms/zfs/0.6.5.6/build/module/zfs/zpl_xattr.c:1284:12: error: too few arguments to function ‘posix_acl_valid’ InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-03-08 (693 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 14.04.1 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140723) PackageVersion: 0.6.5.6-0ubuntu14 RelatedPackageVersions: dpkg 1.18.4ubuntu1.1 apt 1.2.19 SourcePackage: zfs-linux Title: zfs-dkms 0.6.5.6-0ubuntu14: zfs kernel module failed to build UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to xenial on 2016-10-29 (92 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs-linux/+bug/1660416/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
