Can you have your / in linux in zfs?
- lars512 11y agoSure, if your /boot is something else.
- 4ad 11y agoNot required, some versions of Grub can read from ZFS just fine.
- josteink 11y agoUbuntu 16.04 should come with "official" ZFS from Ubuntu[1]. Hopefully this means everything, including booting from ZFS, should work out of the box.

- amyjess 11y agoYes, I did that on my desktop, running Arch Linux. In retrospect, it probably wasn't a very good idea because my / is on an SSD and ZFS on Linux doesn't support TRIM (I'll probably go with XFS if I ever reinstall), but it's totally doable.
