As kernels 5.2.0-x will bring zfs 0.8.x to Bionic LTS, I'd like to draw some attention to this request. People will get the 0.8.x zfs module via HWE but won't be able to do much with the major new features without the userland tools. I tried to install the debs from Eoan, but they require a

My main reason for suggesting this is that it seems Canonical is easier on snaps wrt. having rolling upgrades. I don't see a reason debs can't do it, but I notice over and over again Canonical is very conservative upgrading major software versions on debs (which is no criticism, just a

Public bug reported: This circumvents the need to keep it on the same major version throughout the LTS cycle. LXD is doing snaps, perhaps for zfs this is the best approach as well. Xenial still has zfsutils on generation 0.6, with the module on 0.7. Even when patches are applied as needed that

I think the answer does not cover my question, as the ZFS driver is linked to the kernel, which evolves with point releases and/or HWE kernels on LTS versions. To make it as practical as possible, let's assume ZFS 0.8 gets released in June. I think I now can conclude it will not get backported to
