Hello Robert (CC'ed to get attention...of course no need to CC me back
in answers),
Hi Christian,
If I understand well, partman-zfs is unstable on kfreebsd-i386 but
fine on kfreebsd-amd64. However, would it be a problem to talk about
32 bits

I corrected the last filesystem to file system but, more
generally, I'm wondering about the general idea.

Btw thanks for these corrections.

This is a common missconception. ZFS has stability and performance

Your tone looks unnecessarily accusational. I gave brief
information because starting an in-depth debate about
the actual technical reasons didn't seem useful. What
matters to the template text in partman-zfs is that ZFS
has trouble with i386, not with 32-bit arches in general.

If that works it could be considered, but I heard PAE is

My main point is to avoid jargon. Here, we are talking about
kfreebsd ports where only two flavours exist: -i386 and -amd64. Both
run on the same family of processors and the main difference between
them is that one is 32-bits and the other is

it may have an unbearable performance cost.
I'll do some tests and then bring this up in -bsd.

Actually, disregard this. I forgot that PAE is only available

PAE goes back to the P6 era as far as I remember, so lost of them don't
have amd64 support, but do have PAE.
