Hi there 👋

About this article After using OpenZFS for almost 2 years on my personal computer, I decided to make this small list of good and bad things I experienced while using it. When reading this, please keep the following things in mind: I use ZFS on Linux (specifically Arch Linux). If you use another operating system like FreeBSD your experiences will be different. I will write about things I personally experienced. This isn’t a full list of everything ZFS does well or badly (there are already enough of these online)....

About this guide I made this guide a few days after installing Arch Linux with ZFSBootMenu on my Laptop. However, always check the commands before entering them. You should be knowledgeable in both Linux and ZFS. In this guide, I will go through an entire ZFS-on-Root installation process on Arch Linux, using ZFSBootMenu as the UEFI bootloader. It will basically be a mix of multiple guides, which I will link below....
