    [ubuntu] New LTS, new FS?

    Considering that Ubuntu 24.04 is coming with kernel that supports bcachefs, are we going to see in the installer an option to use the new filesystem? I am generally adventurous enough to try new...
  2. Re: So, Ubuntu 23.10 is bringing back zfs in installer...

    As I expected, no answer. My system miraculously managed to survive a slew of kernel and driver updates and if it breaks, I got a USB stick with Ubuntu 23.10 MM waiting. Situation is not bad, but I...
  3. Re: So, Ubuntu 23.10 is bringing back zfs in installer...

    Thanks, though I doubt it would do much good. If we're very lucky, it might arrive in time for 24.04.
  4. Re: So, Ubuntu 23.10 is bringing back zfs in installer...

    I'm not that king of a masochist. I'd prefer if I could change a number in some config file on the iso, that would be lovely. Option to choose during the installation would obviously be the best, but...
  5. Re: So, Ubuntu 23.10 is bringing back zfs in installer...

    Installer back in the days did not allow any manual configuration if you wanted zfs, you could only let the installer autoconfigure the filesystem and that was it. I'm not unhappy with zfs or zsys,...
  6. Re: So, Ubuntu 23.10 is bringing back zfs in installer...

    Uff, it's a long story that I really don't feel like getting into. I started with 20.04, everything was super until 22.04 upgrade, then the space starts running out. Because currently I have kernel...
  7. So, Ubuntu 23.10 is bringing back zfs in installer...

    I'm using 22.04.3 with zfs and I've had a myriad problems because of it. Mind you, not with zfs itself, that was working well, but with the fact that the Ubuntu installer created a 2GB bpool for...
  8. [ubuntu] Re: ZFS boot volume lack of space, round two

    So, simulated removal:

    The following packages will be REMOVED:
    linux-generic linux-image-generic
    0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 11 not upgraded.
    Remv linux-generic...
  9. [ubuntu] Re: ZFS boot volume lack of space, round two

    Yes, of course, I've made data backups, it's not a huge thing if everything breaks, I do have free time for a fresh install if it comes to worst.

    Indeed, I do have regular and HWE stacks...
  10. [ubuntu] Re: ZFS boot volume lack of space, round two

    Ok, so I whacked bpool/BOOT/ubuntu_r569du, that released space on bpool, so I could upgrade. This time I tried upgrading from tty, thinking that if it's indeed graphic driver problem, I might not...
  11. [ubuntu] Re: ZFS boot volume lack of space, round two

    I removed bpool/BOOT/ubuntu_us9kn1 and nothing bad happened, so clearly it won't remove /boot. It was used for the old 5.15 kernel, which I don't need any more.

    I can't remove old kernels, i tried...
  12. [ubuntu] Re: ZFS boot volume lack of space, round two

    I found time to deal with this again, so I removed the other filesystem on bpool and my space was back. Then I thought to install the updates that were piling up in the repos and after that my space...
  13. [ubuntu] Re: ZFS boot volume lack of space, round two

    Ok, so according to ChatGPT, bpool/BOOT/ubuntu_r569du filesystem was created for 5.19 kernel, while the old bpool/BOOT/ubuntu_us9kn1 served the old 5.15...
  14. [ubuntu] Re: ZFS boot volume lack of space, round two

    One thing I can't understand is why is there even two filesystems on bpool/BOOT.

    zfs list -rt all -o name,type,creation
    NAME TYPE ...
  15. [ubuntu] ZFS boot volume lack of space, round two

    Those of us who were unlucky enough to try zfs file system on Ubuntu have faced the issue that Ubuntu installer by default makes a bpool zfs volume way too small, so it can easily overfill with...

    [ubuntu] Which file system?

    Another Ubuntu LTS, another time to ask yourself the eternal question - which file system to use this time around? I thought that by now there would be consensus on this matter, but no dice.

    We...

    [ubuntu] Re: Can't update, no space on /boot

    Ubuntu's zsysctl does have a garbage collector that is supposed to do this, but for some reason it stopped working on bpool at the end of June, causing it to fill with snapshots. There have been...

    [ubuntu] Re: Can't update, no space on /boot

    The problem was indeed caused by snapshots. Ubuntu's zsysctl is not good at cleaning up its mess, so snapshots can quickly fill up the tiny bpool that installer creates and there is no good way to...

    [ubuntu] Re: Can't update, no space on /boot

    Yes. The difference is that btrfs makes a snapshop when you ask it to. Zfs makes a snapshot whenever package manager makes a change on the system. This is incredibly useful, because so for I never...

    [ubuntu] Re: Can't update, no space on /boot

    Unfortunately, I don't know that much about ZFS and its implementation on Ubuntu either. I know, kind of stupid to install experimental FS on your home system if you're not prepared to dive deep into...

    [ubuntu] Re: Can't update, no space on /boot

    Trying to reconfigure initramfs-tools package yielded no result, so I tried to uninstall, then install it again, which I found as an advice somewhere. This worked, also reducing the storage space...

    [ubuntu] Re: Can't update, no space on /boot

    Apt did the job, but it is reporting that there was no space for a snapshot and there is a misconfigured package. ZFS worked very well so far, but I'm starting to think it was a mistake to trust it...

    Hmmm, trying to update only Chrome, I get the same error. This might be a problem with the Update installer. Let me try the command line update.

    [ubuntu] Can't update, no space on /boot

    Running Ubuntu 20.04 on zfs file system. Disk partitioning was done by the OS installer, it left quite an ample space for everything on my 1TB drive.

    Trying to install new updates, I see quite a...
