I installed Ubuntu 21.10 system with ZFS and encryption, and I installed
all APT updates. I quickly started experiencing filesystem corruption
within an hour or two, and now my system won't boot. I see that this bug
has been marked "Fix Released", but I am still experiencing it.

Even before the bug fix is released, I urge the developers to take
urgent preventative measures to stop users from experiencing filesystem
corruption, especially users who are upgrading, since they have more
data to lose. Specifically, I ask you to take these three actions:

1. Make the upgrade tool refuse to upgrade to Ubuntu 21.10 if ZFS is
being used, until a permanent fix is released.

2. If possible, don't allow users to install a fresh installation of
Ubuntu 21.10 with ZFS enabled. I don't know if it's possible to release
a new ISO, but please consider that it might be worth releasing a
21.10.01 ISO.

3. The release notes for Ubuntu 21.10 do contain warnings about
filesystem corruption when using ZFS, but you have to read 2800 words
before reaching the paragraph that warns about this. Please consider
modify the release notes to make this warning more prominent. Also,
modify any other web pages that users might check before installing
Ubuntu 21.10 or upgrading to it.
