    LTS Server Challenges

    Hello everyone,

    I'm in the process of configuring my NAS to run on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I also want to run RAID using ZFS which is now built in to 16.04. It was ZFS that compelled me to use FreeNAS, but BSD Linux is a very different animal than Ubuntu. Anyway, I'm trying to add the ppa to my server sources list for ZFS, but it appears that one of the repositories is broken. What can be done? Wait until "they" fix it? I was hoping for some kind of work-around. Is there only one repository for such applications that can be accessed by different mirrors or are there multiple repositories as well? I have more questions, but I think they should be posted on different threads. Thank you all.

    When trying to add the ppa, what error message do you get?

      Hey Whatthefunk! Wazzup? Now that you helped me with ssh issue, I am able to copy the actual terminal screens so I can post it. I'll do it right now. Huh, it looks like the ZFS team pulled the repository down completely. I posted that one of the repos was broken. Well that's great. I suppose they're working on it. Any idea where else I can get a ubuntu 16.04 package for zfs?

        Did you look in Synaptic for "ZFS"? There are packages listed for 16.04. They may be what you are looking for ...

          On my Kubuntu computer, yes. On my Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS server, No. No gui and as I said, the repo I need is still offline (ppa:zfs-native/stable). I just have to wait until they bring it back up. I'm just surprised that there's not a pre-made package for 'ubuntu-zfs' in one of the main sources repo or even an internet download from sourceforge or the zfs homepage. Time to be patient. I'll mark this thread SOLVED assuming that when the repo comes back online, it will work. Thank you for the inputs.

            The ppa:zfs-native/stable is still down!

            Code:
            mark@Ubuntu-Server:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:zfs-native/stable
            [sudo] password for mark: 
            Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:~zfs-native/ubuntu/stable'.
            ERROR: '~zfs-native' user or team does not exist.

              There is nothing wrong with the ppa:
              Code:
              [FONT=monospace][B][COLOR=#000000]$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:zfs-native/stable[/COLOR][/B]

              Why don't you just install zfsutils-linux, from the repository?

                  do this and post the output

                  Code:
                  sudo apt get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
                  you can select "n" to abort if you do not want to do the upgrades but we will see if you have other repo problems

                        You have an Internet connection problem. Did you mess with your DNS?

Come to think of it, ifconfig is only telling me that the ip address of the server is online as eno1 and has rx information, but that was/is probably only my logins from my Kubuntu machine, not internet traffic.
