Ubuntu ZFS support in 19.10: ZFS on root

I've been a long time user of ZFS on linux. It's got some superb features, but a lot of them are heavily aimed at servers with lots of ram and even the ability to setup SSD scratch disks for caching.

Not saying that you can't use it on a laptop, you can, but you have to be very careful with features like dedup, lest you bring your system to it's knees.

One of the other limitations was native encryption (you could put it inside a LUKS container, but it was an additional hassle), but that was finally solved in May of this year.

Current title doesn't match the article. The original title is pretty poor, but "going from to even more" is worse, IMO.

Agreed, mods / @dang, please fix. Original title:

"Ubuntu's ZFS Trajectory Is Going From Exciting To Even More Exciting"

I thought it was meant to be a neologistic elision of words, in the style of "I accidentally the thing" or "I can't even".

Also the article is light on details and mostly just links to this blog post: https://didrocks.fr/2019/10/11/ubuntu-zfs-support-in-19.10-z...
