With Rocky Linux (https://rockylinux.org/) arriving as the heir to the CentOS mantle (downstream community edition), will eFa be supporting this distribution?

I've been able to install it on Rocky Linux 8.

You need to modify the file /etc/redhat-release,
change the word 'Rocky' with 'CentOS' before running the installer.

The install works fine on my Rocky.

Guess you are the guinnea pig

Let me know how it goes and I can modify eFa to detect Rocky.

Would love to see the installer working with Rocky Linux aswell.

I've upgraded from CentOS 8 to Rocky 8.4 and 8.5. eFa4 works great. No issues. This is much easier upgrade/migration path then moving to debian. And Rocky 8 is with support until "Planned EOL: 31st May 2029".
The eFa installer script needs an addition to detect Rocky as OS and update eFa4 repo url to update CentOS in Rocky.

Coming right up, I'll make the necessary changes.

Hi,
Any idea when we'll be able to use the new OS?

eFa4 has been updated to detect and install on Rocky 8.

Has anyone tried Rocky 9?

I was planning to my efa server over to Rocky during the Thanksgiving Break (US).

eFa is not ready for v9 OSes yet. I have to do some work there.

Thank you for a reply on version 9.
