You can get ZFS on Linux with relative ease, you just have to build it

I know you can do this as a module - but is there an overlay or patch
to get it built directly into the kernel? I'd love to use ZFS on my
gentoo server, but I disable modules on servers for security reasons.
You can do it. You have to unmask the kernel_builtin USE flag to stop zfs
bringing in zfs_kmod, then unpack the sources and run the script to
install them into the kernel tree.

Very interesting, thanks... nice to know it can be done, but I wouldn't
be uncomfortable doing that myself...
Would be nice if there was a kernel overlay for this...
