what zfs file system?
I was installing zfsonlinux (the famous documentation with 2lines of command) using the latest packages available on github (release december 2015) and the module won't load. The probable code was an error during installation saying the module driver did not build, it seems when one update fedora some files are missing (since the system decide on it's own to switch to a newer kernel) so the install failed?
Basically i'm looking for a fedora user who ran into the same issue.

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. 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.
