Am still intimidated by ZFS not being introduced into the Linux Kernel tree.

  It’s not a big deal if you have a distribution that helps, but then again I run Gentoo.

    good to know. Been running Gentoo since 2004. Last of the split-usr advocate due to embedded engineering and IoT.

      I run Gentoo because I prefer init.rd to what I like to call Systemd/Linux.

  I now run NixOS, so that’s a non-issue for me. But even so, it’s not hard, you have to install the ZFS package and make sure it’s included in your initramfs (if you use ZFS for / ). On arch I used the linux-lts kernel with ZFS and never had any issues in three years.
