It sounds like the best thing since sliced bread. The fly in the ointment is the CDDL licensing incompatibility with the gpl, so it can't go directly in the linux kernel. Here's an article from IBM on how to use it with zfs-fuse. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-zfs/ This article from wikipedia says that it is gentoo and ubuntu that have the best support and documentation for zfs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZFS http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/ZFS The official zfsonlinux development site, http://zfsonlinux.org/ , says that DKMS packages are available for Fedora at http://zfsonlinux.org/fedora.html It still is talking about yum, but the commands probably would work with dnf. But, I don't think anaconda will install to a zfs file system, so it would be necessary to create the zfs partitions from an installed version of Fedora, and copy or rsync with the appropriate command an already installed Fedora to get Fedora installed on a zfs file system. That license incompatibility. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
