Hello!  :-)


I have desired ZFS-on-root OOTB on Debian GNU/Linux stable for many years.


As you may already know, the ZFS license and the Linux license do not 
play nice together.  Thus,  many (most?) Linux distributions do not 
provide ZFS-on-root OOTB.


But, people want ZFS-on-root on their Linux distribution of choice.  So, 
people find and post work-arounds.  Matthew Crews has kindly posted what 
appears to be the current work-around for Debian Stretch (no, I haven't 
tried it):

Grab a test box, a pair of SSD's, and give it a try.  Let us know how it 
works out (or not).

1.  The easiest path that I have found for creating FOSS Un*x-like 
systems with ZFS OOTB is FreeBSD.  Beware that the BSD userland and root 
CSH are not GNU.


2.  I seem to recall that Ubuntu added ZFS OOTB a few years ago.  STFW, 
it looks like they currently also have a ZFS work-around:

     You might want to download the latest stable Ubuntu installer and 
give it a try.
