I want to use the latest kernel (currently 4.19) with Ubuntu Server 18.04, and I also want to use ZFS.
Although ZFS appears to install correctly, it apparently does not get installed into the right kernel. Is there something additional I need to do to get kernel module like ZFS to install into the right kernel? Or do I need to build it specially for my kernel until a backport is provided?
Also, I did install the new kernel before installing ZFS. Previously I had tried upgrading the kernel after installing ZFS, which broke ZFS and gave me a "no installation candidate" message when I tried to reinstall it from that version.
~$ zpool list
The ZFS modules are not loaded.
Try running '/sbin/modprobe zfs' as root to load them.
~$ sudo /sbin/modprobe zfs
modprobe: FATAL: Module zfs not found in directory /lib/modules/4.19.6-041906-generic
~$ sudo apt install -y zfsutils
