I meant no disrespect, I suppose I should have been more direct.
I asked about ZFS because it is not really that difficult to set up and there aren’t that many variables involved. You create a pool, then start using it. There isn’t much more to it.
Its not baked into the arch kernels so unless you’ve got your wits about you running updates can fuck everything up.
That is an arch problem, not ZFS. An update on Debian with ZFS would almost never behave like this.
I asked about virtualization because it would allow you to break things intentionally and flip back to a desired state, which seems to fit with your like of solving broken stuff.
So in the end, you’re obviously free to do what you like, and that’s the great thing about Linux. But you definitely seem to want to do things the hard way.

Have a better one.
