I boot from ZFS so that datapool will be root mounted. That same datapool has been used in the past exclusively for Virtual Machines, later I added the datasets for the host OSes to the same datapool, because they were at the begin of my SSHD. So that datapool contains datasets with Virtualbox VMs and the root datasets for two Ubuntu OSes Ubuntu Mate 19.10 and Xubuntu 19.10.
I plan to buy a NVME SSD (say 500 GB) and I would use that with a single datapool also for both the Hosts OSes and the Virtual Machines. The other data (documents, movies, music etc) would remain on one or two HDDs. I have created the pools of course using the sudo or maybe even sudo -s, because I had to issue a number of privileged commands, since that creation time the datapools are mounted automatically by the system. I do not remember to have problems with the ZFS updates in 19.04 using the same datapools. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to zfs-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1846424 Title: 19.10 ZFS Update failed on 2019-10-02 Status in zfs-linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: On all my systems the update from zfs-initrams_0.8.1-1ubuntu12_amd64.deb failed the same is true for zfs-zed and zfsutils-linux.
