A detailed look at Ubuntu’s new experimental ZFS installer
I think it&#x27;s neat that having the possibility of a ZFS root on Ubuntu exists, but I just don&#x27;t see myself using it. Will anyone, and if so for what purpose?<p>I&#x27;m not in the home NAS building sphere, but wouldn&#x27;t you rather have your root be a SquashFS image on an SD card or similar, with the storage section being ZFS?<p>As for my laptop, I guess the snapshots are nice. I&#x27;ve never had a situation with my laptop where I wished I had snapshots, and even if something did break I only care about the files I have, which I back up. Then the snapshots are an extra safety net I suppose.
