Hi there,
This is my first post here, so my apologies if this is off topic!
I'm a long-time ZFS user (since the very early Solaris 10 days) and Ubuntu's support of ZFS is the primary reason why I chose it for my home server. I would like to know when will ZFS be officially supported as the root file system? I used a how-to to do this for my 16.04 installation and plan to upgrade to 18.04 soon. It would be really nice to see ZFS offered as a file system choice at installation time.
A related question is when will Ubuntu support the concept of different ZFS-powered boot environments (for example, like BSD's beadm command)? BEs make upgrading and (more importantly) rolling back if necessary very quick and easy.
Any answered gratefully received!
Cheers,
Rich
