As far as I know Ubuntu ships with ZFS kernel module.
Unfortunately, as you undoubtedly know, ZFS support on Linux will always be a problem due to licensing.
As far as I know native encryption is not yet stable in ZFS.

The user may later request an earlier version to be recovered.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS#Volume_Shadow_Copy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS#Volume_Shadow_Copy

- Spivak 8y agoI don't see what you're getting at, an equivalent virus on Linux would delete snapshots as well.
