With Fedora 20 being released a few weeks ago and no official zfsonlinux support for Fedora 20. It time to get zfs on linux working on Fedora 20.
Zfs on linux 2.6.2 required a custom DKMS package. Lucky the patches that were required for zfs on linux are already integrated into Fedora: http://negativo17.org/dkms-patches-for-zfs-on-linux-merged/
So lets try to build the rpm packages for Fedora 20 from the source.

I was creating an ugly quick-and-dirty script to setup the squid cache_dir automatically with puppet based on the diskspace and memory available.
When you are developing you sometimes forget to create backups and push it to git, and mistakes are around the corner.
Lucky bash saved my day!
$ ./create_cache_entries.sh > create_cache_entries.sh
-bash: ./create_cache_entries.sh: /bin/bash: bad interpreter: Text file busy
$ vi create_cache_entries.sh
I use zfs on linux on fedora now.
The installation was pretty straightforward but after the installation of zfs yum update failed.

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

On another fedora system yum update worked fine, after reviewing the differences in the yum configuration it seems that yum-plugin-priorities wasn’t installed on my box. After installing yum-plugin-priorities
