Basic stuff to install

pacman -Syu net-tools

ZFS

pacman -Syu linux-headers linux zfs-meta

and the zfs seems to build for a LTS kernel, but not for the current installed kernel:

(2/4) Install DKMS modules
==> dkms install --no-depmod zfs/2.4.3 -k 6.18.40-1-cachyos-lts
==> dkms install --no-depmod zfs/2.4.3 -k 7.1.5-1-cachyos
==> WARNING: `dkms install --no-depmod zfs/2.4.3 -k 7.1.5-1-cachyos' exited 1
==> dkms install --no-depmod zfs/2.4.3 -k 7.1.5-arch1-2
==> WARNING: `dkms install --no-depmod zfs/2.4.3 -k 7.1.5-arch1-2' exited 1

Seems like this is one of those times where ZFS is out of sync with the kernel release, so maybe running the LTS kernel is better.

Switch to LTS in grub

Edit /etc/default/grub and change GRUB_DEFAULT to point to LTS image, then run

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Automounting partitions

VirtualBox

gpasswd -a rob vboxusers
