Thanks! That's good to know because I've been having troubles with Ubuntu 20 and have been considering switching back to redhat. Then the only remaining part would be figuring out how to do zfs on root in redhat. I do it with a chroot bash script for Ubuntu server atm, but hopefully there's a debootstrap kind of thing on redhat that I can use as a base.

> I do it with a chroot bash script for Ubuntu server atm I’ve been using ZFS root on Ubuntu without any such nonsense for years, but I had to debootstrap it manually. See guides here: https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Getting%20Started/Ubuntu/index.html#root-on-zfs https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Getting%20Started/Ubu... With Ubuntu 20.04 the standard installer should support setting up a ZFS root without all that manual work, but I haven’t tested it myself.

  Yes, that's what I meant. The script does the partitioning, zfs init, chroot, debootstrap, and apt install. You just run it from a live cd. https://github.com/kstenerud/ubuntu-server-zfs https://github.com/kstenerud/ubuntu-server-zfs

There are ways to do chroot installs on RHEL but sadly not well documented. Some resources on this: - https://glacion.com/2019/06/16/Fedora.html https://glacion.com/2019/06/16/Fedora.html - https://github.com/glacion/fedora-chroot-installation https://github.com/glacion/fedora-chroot-installation - https://web.archive.org/web/20150912004438/https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/ManualInstall https://web.archive.org/web/20150912004438/https://wiki.cent... Most of that will work for RHEL with some minor modifications. Pity it is not better documented.

  YUM/DNF has bootstrap-in-chroot functionality built-in. Just set up your disk layout the way you want on a disk device or a loopback disk backed by an image, and do something like: $ sudo dnf --installroot=/path/to/mounted/target group install @core @hardware-support And you're good to go. You can see the list of groups available to include by using "dnf group list --ids".
