Ubuntu will officially support ZFS file systems

The Ubuntu Snappy Core team held a interesting discussion on the morning of the 6th, therefore, we learned how this Linux release will support the Snappy-based operating system in the kernel module. This discussion started with Geoffrey J. Teale and asked Ubuntu Snappy developers whether they could use a framework to add Linux kernel modules to systems based on Snappy Core.

The method for adding kernel modules to the Ubuntu Snappy system is to package them into a standard snapshot, and then manually inject the kernel package through the "sudo insmod" command.

Geoffrey J. teale said: "What I want is how to deploy a niche ZFS, because the hardware is ready-made and does not require any special drivers, basically, you only need to deploy ZFS and SPL like the kernel module. If I have to make a custom image to use snappy, it will reduce the value of Ubuntu Core as a platform (Ubuntu Server will be easier to use )".

In a quick response, Zygmunt Krynicki suggested that Mr. Teale roll his own kernel to the kernel of the Ubuntu Snappy system to ensure that the kernel module is reachable. According to Mr. Krynicki, a custom framework or application may be required to deploy ZFS user space in the operating system.

Mark Shuttleworth also joined the discussion and said, "Since you want ZFS, you should treat it as a standard and include it properly in Ubuntu ".

For Mr. Teale and all users who need to support this powerful artistic ZFS File System in Ubuntu Linux, this is obviously the best message. After all, ZFS only exists in Ubuntu as a FUSE_module (user space file system module.
