[lustre-discuss] lustre-ldiskfs-dkms requires zfs if present

[Thomas Roth]

No, I really uninstalled the zfs packages - this removed /var/lib/dkms/zfs.
Then, the installation of lustre-ldiskfs-dkms worked.

This gave my the idea that the very presence of the directory /var/lib/dkms/zfs (or its contents) trigger lustre-ldiskfs-dkms to ask for zfs.


According to  https://review.whamcloud.com/c/fs/lustre-release/+/62161 as mentioned by Tim Day, it is a bit more sohpisticated but goes into that 
direction.

Regards,
Thomas
