Public bug reported:
I like to be able to specify the size of the rpool partition during
installation at the moment I select ZFS, you could ask to specify the
size or to use the whole disk. The remainder of the disk could be left
empty. I like that feature for the following reasons:
- Many users like me will have a SSD and a HDD, limiting the size of the rpool
partition will allow them to use part of the SSD as a L2ARC/ZIL for the HDD.
- My current laptop HDD is 2TB and a rpool partition of 2TB makes Ubuntu very
slow, when after a while the HDD gets fragmented. Due to OS updates the OS gets
scattered all over the HDD resulting in considerable longer HDD seek times. A
smaller rpool datapool (I would choose say 10GB) would speed up the OS on the
HDD.
- It would allow us to use the gnome-disk-utility as simple backup of last
resort for the EFI, rpool and bpool partitions. For my laptop and desktop I
could store those two backups for example on an old 160GB USB HDD.
- I don't like to store my VMs in the USERDATA dataset nor in another own
dataset in the rpool datapool. However on the desktop I like them on the
nvme-SSD, but preferably in an own datapool with own properties.
