[15:05] <TJ-> Which would be the best package to report against to have ./drivers/pci/controller/pci-hyperv.ko included in linux-modules rather than linux-modules-extra, so it is available to the -server installer ? 
[16:02] <smb> TJ-, the linux package. though I am not sure it is a matter of modules packaged. at least not on old world (the debian installer would use udebs) but maybe that new and shiny new one does
[16:04] <smb> but in either case the request made against the linux source would be the right thing to do
[16:29] <TJ-> smb: I thought so but wanted to check. I hit this due to deploying 20.04 into a Hyper-V guest that is using DDA (Discrete Device Assignment aka PCI-passthrough) for 2x NVMe storage devices
[16:30] <TJ-> smb: Had to drop to the di-i shell and 'udpkg --unpack /cdrom/pool/main/l/linux/linux-modules-extra-`uname -r`_amd64.deb; depmod; modprobe pci-hyperv-intf; modprobe pci-hyperv' in order to have the para-virtualised PCI bus available
[16:34] <smb> TJ-, the is a chance that this is still also done via the udebs but I am usually lagging behind with knowledge on future release
[16:37] <smb> TJ-, but that can be fleshed out once there is a bug report about it
[16:44] <TJ-> Bug #1859212
[18:34] <mwpastore> hi folks, I was playing around with hwe-edge in bionic and I noticed that kernel 5.3 includes zfs 0.8.1. this is problematic for two reasons: 1. the bionic zfs packages are all 0.7.5, and 2. zfs 0.8.2 has a lot of kernel 5.3 compatibility fixes. is there a plan for zfs in 18.04.4, and does it address these concerns? 
[19:01] <sarnold> mwpastore: excellent question.. the 18.04 on root guide mentions HWE kernels just off-hand.. https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/wiki/Ubuntu-18.04-Root-on-ZFS "Hint: For the HWE kernel, install linux-image-generic-hwe-18.04 instead of linux-image-generic"
[19:02] <sarnold> it's not a strong enough mention for me to be sure that combination was actually tested, and since the hwe rolls along, it might have worked once but I'm not sure if it'd still work today
[19:18] <mwpastore> sarnold: yes, 18.04.3 is/was perfectly fine, everything is lined up on zfs 0.7.5 
[19:18] <mwpastore> the question is just what's going to happen with the next release
[19:19] <mwpastore> that's just the root-on-zfs guide, anyway. plenty of folks using ZoL in Ubuntu with a separate root filesystem, I'm sure
[19:23] <sarnold> yeah, I've got one of each
