When I was playing with ZFS I was able to build it into the kernel (by unmasking a USE flag) so I could boot from it without an initramfs. IMO the main problem with ZFS on Linux is that it is based on a fairly old version. Oracle have not released the sources for the recent versions, so useful stuff like encryption is missing, and always will be. -- Neil Bothwick ... We are Dyslexics of Borg.
