Hello, does anyone run zfs on fedora 23?
I could use some insights on how to install it properly (the
documentation just gives 2 commands so...)
Some people ran into the same issues apparently but i couldn't find
one on fedora.
If anybody has his hands on real documentation or whathever i'll take
it thanks.
Meanwhile i'll keep crawling google
Thanks for mentioning this. 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.

This article from wikipedia says that it is gentoo and ubuntu that have
the best support and documentation for 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.
