Debian is the last major Linux distribution where it is not easy to do / on ZFS. It might be possible to implement a module for Debian's initramfs generator in ZoL upstream. I suggest filing an issue to inquire about this possibility:

- DiabloD3 12y agoThey have it for Ubuntu, but Ubuntu and Debian have somewhat diverged on how it is done. It is not a big issue for me on this build, but if I wanted to do large scale file servers and didn't want to stash a USB dongle in the box for root, it would be useful. Although, I guess I could use FreeBSD if I didn't need KVM and/or Xen....
- justincormack 12y agoThere is bhyve now...
- DiabloD3 12y agoI've heard mixed reviews of that. It is probably not quite ready for production, but it will be interesting in the future.
- mbreese 12y agoJust to add to the reviews - I've had difficulty in getting Bhyve to consistently work. Sometimes the VM will boot fine, others it will just crash halfway into the boot cycle. When it works, it's good. It has a few years before it gets to Xen/KVM levels of stability, but it's a really good start.

- walterbell 12y agoHow about FreeBSD guest on Xen with Linux dom0? https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/Xen https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/Xen
