There's some very good advice in there about using yum-plugin-local.
The ZOL repo's updated packages do indeed work with the latest dkms from
EPEL (or at least, they build and install successfully and I can run
"sudo zpool list" to see that I haven't yet created a pool).
Once installed, I can use yum-plugin-versionlock to lock the ZFS and
dkms packages to the current version:
> sudo yum versionlock dkms libnvpair1 libuutil1 libzfs2 libzpool2 spl spl-dkms zfs zfs-dkms
And this should protect our server from out-of-sync updates of this
software, and yum-plugin-local keeps a copy that I can reinstall later,
or on another server.
Cheers, John
