Ubuntu16.04LTS will support ZFS file systems: But preparation is only completed by 90%

Two months ago, we reported that Ubuntu will officially support ZFS file systems. Before you update the system to Ubuntu16.04LTS (XenialXerus), you must be aware that this new feature is still in the technical preview phase. Ubuntu does not complete all the work. Before installation, You need to manually add it to the installer. To make it the default option, it will obviously take a long time.

One of the main reasons Ubuntu developers prefer this file system is that Debian also supports it. Considering that Ubuntu is based on Debian and ZFS is in a rising stage, Canonical's decision is justified.

It should be noted that the appearance of ZFS is not an overnight task. Over the past decade, it has become increasingly popular. Operating Systems supporting ZFS include --

Solaris, OpenSolaris, OpenIndiana, illumos, Joyent SmartOS, omnio, FreeBSD, Debian GNU/kFreeBSD systems, NetBSD, OSv, and even Mac OS with MacZFS.

Chad Miller of Canonical explained on Google +:

Ubiquity installer is not currently supported, as I know, grub has a bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1527727) (fixed in my PPA, ppa: cmiller/ppa ).

If you are completely installed, You can boot through the existing tools in the release version (my PPA will change somewhat in Xenial), and continue the complete installation of ZFS after mounting.

You still need an EFI partition to help guide grub.

The authorization method of ZFS is CDDL, which is incompatible with GPL authorization of Linux kernel. However, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) will be an interesting release version.
