Today is #openzfsmastery, a footnote:

"See, once upon a time the phone company printed huge books that listed everyone with a phone and their phone number. No, phone numbers didn’t change so often, because they were all landlines. But then the dinosaurs knocked the phone lines down, so we went cellular."

I have no idea why anyone
buys my books, but it's open for sponsorship: https://sponsor.mwl.io

It appears Linux root-on-ZFS is a mess. No standard way to do it. Kernel updates require recompiling ZFS. Boot environments are a cornucopia of constantly evolving hacks.

If you're actually using #ZFS on root, on #Debian, what's your preferred hack to make that happen? #sysadmin

I suspect #openzfsmastery might need to assume root on extFS and data on ZFS, leaving root-on-ZFS for the advanced user or a terminal chapter.
