It however advises to use blockid, not device-id, for mounts.
Any idea if this doesn't apply to AMIs?
- dekhn 10y agoMy point is I want the installer itself to lay down the original disk FS as ZFS in the installer.
- josteink 10y agoConsidering how the current installer supports btrfs, it really doesn't seem like it should take too much effort. Someone however, will have to put in that effort. And maybe people using ZFS want proper volume/subvolume management as good as support for traditional partitions or LVM volumes? If so, it will probably take a while longer to land.
- dekhn 10y agoRight; Canonical is expected to do this work, as they already added ZFS as a supported filesystem to Ubuntu.
- josteink 10y agoIn that case: Prepare to wait. Canonical has delayed lots of things lately in their eagerness to launch Unity 8 ;)
- dekhn 10y agoi've been waiting years now, not really a problem. When it's available I will install it on a test machine and make a copy of my live server's data there and then test it for a year.
