I had a lot of 'fun' trying to get a ZFS root on ubuntu a couple months ago.
Not my brightest idea.
Ended up having a small XFS root partition and putting everything else on ZFS. Works great, but I don't look forward to the day when my root filesystem fails.
- secabeen 9y agoYep. I have a number of ZFS machines, and I always put root on ext4 (or ext4 on md), and just use ZFS for user data partitions.

- Rovanion 9y agoIt is possible though, I set up a Ubuntu machine with ZFS root this christmas.
