Comment on Is my ZFS partition properly setup?

I don’t think there’s anything intrinsically wrong, but far as I can see you are using only a single disk for the zfs pool, which will give you integrity checks (know when something is corrupted), but no way to fix it.
Since this is, by today’s standards, a tiny disk at 100G, I assume this is just a test setup?

On FreeBSD, since v12 came out, it is now recommended to use zfs everywhere, including on virtual machines. I don’t know about linux.

Ubuntu and many other distros do not come with ZFS support out of the box due to licensing, so it is not recommended to use ZFS for the root filesystem.

Ubuntu has ZFS on root as one of the options in the normal graphical installer. I have it running on multiple machines.

This must have changed with 23.04 or something then, because when I set up my home server a little over a year ago, ZFS as root was not only not a part of the install, but also heavily recommended against as something that could be hacked in. Basically you could do it, but you shouldn’t was my impression. I ended up doing EXT4 as root, then mounted my ZFS storage in my home directory.
