Interesting. I've never really wanted on boot on ZFS, and I definitely don't see the point if I'd need a dedicated pool for it.

- yjftsjthsd-h 4y agoIt could be really cool; it would let you snapshot your boot filesystem and roll back to a previous configuration. ...I say, as someone who does in fact leave my boot filesystems on VFAT:)
- vetinari 4y agoUbuntu did snapshot the bpool; unfortunately, it did a poor job of garbage collecting the snapshots. Meaning that eventually you would have failing kernel updates due to lack of space, and having to manually clean it up. Since 22.04, zsys (the tool that did the snapshoting) is not installed by default.
- yjftsjthsd-h 4y ago> Since 22.04, zsys (the tool that did the snapshoting) is not installed by default. Er, are they not snapshotting the root filesystem or ex. /home by default then?
- vetinari 4y agoNo, you have to install and enable zsys yourself.
- cryptonector 4y agoIt's a lot easier to manage one pool occupying one large partition on all the disks in the pool than it is to manage any number of partitions without pooling.
