Hi Denice,
Thank you. Since these ZFS packages seem to rely strongly on a specific
version of a package found in a third-party repository that can be
updated separately from the ZFS packages, would it make sense (or be
possible) for the sl-addons repository to contain a copy of the dkms
package that is always updated in parallel with the ZFS packages?
Cheers, John

Hello,
Installing ZFS from the sl-addons repository is failing on one of our
servers. Are there known problems with these packages in the
sl-addons repository? Should I use the ZFSOnLinux project's own
repository instead?
I just did a double-check with reposync to see if something has
changed in the ZFSOnLinux tree at:
http://archive.zfsonlinux.org/
On Oct. 9th they added these updated packages:

perhaps they work better with the version of dkms that is currently
in EPEL.
We have had good luck with the June version of the ZFSOnLinux repository
and the EPEL version of dkms: # dkms-2.2.0.3-20.el6.noarch
It might be wise to keep a copy of the EPEL dkms rpm for future reference,
we certainly will, since we want to be able to repeat an installation
base in the future for well-tested versions of software.
Note that the ZOL archive has some older versions of dkms in it; i.e.
Jun 26 13:06 dkms-2.2.0.3-14.zfs1.el6.noarch.rpm
Jul 14 14:36 dkms-2.2.0.3-2.zfs1.el6.noarch.rpm

A complete description of what I've done to install ZFS follows.

I wish to install the ZFS filesystem on one of our Scientific Linux
servers. Before today, the server ran SL 6.3. ZFS is found in the
sl-addons repo which was not added until SL 6.4. So, I installed
yum-conf-sl6x and ran "yum update" to bring the server up to SL 6.6,
and rebooted after this was done. So far, so good.
After the reboot, I enabled sl-addons in the
/etc/yum.repos.d/sl-other.repo file. We already have the epel
repository enabled on this system (required for dkms).
When I perform "yum install zfs", there are errors displayed while
installing two of the dependency packages:

After this install (which otherwise claims to be successful, even
"echo $?" returns 0), the ZFS programs do not work, and the zfs.ko
module cannot be found:
