It is recommended to use the latest available LTS that's compatible with ZFS. Usually this is the default kernel provided by nixpkgs (i.e. `pkgs.linuxPackages`). - -Alternatively, it's possible to pin the system to the latest available kernel -version _that is supported by ZFS_ like this: - -```nix -{ - boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.zfs.latestCompatibleLinuxPackages; -} -``` - -Please note that the version this attribute points to isn't monotonic because the latest kernel -version only refers to kernel versions supported by the Linux developers.
