To simplify the process of using zfs as your root filesystem a zfs-drucat sub-package has been added. This sub-package adds a zfs dracut module which allows your initramfs to be rebuilt with zfs support. The process for doing this is still complicated but there is clearly interest from the community about getting this working well and documented. This should help lay some of the groundwork. Longer term these changes should be pushed in the upstream dracut package. Once that occurs this subpackage will no longer be required for new systems, however we may want to conditionally build this package in the future for systems running older dracut versions.

Native ZFS for Linux! ZFS is an advanced file system and volume manager which was originally developed for Solaris. It has been successfully ported to FreeBSD and now there is a functional Linux ZFS kernel port too. The port currently includes a fully functional and stable SPA, DMU, and ZVOL with a ZFS Posix Layer (ZPL) on the way!
$ ./configure
$ make pkg
