ZSys and other components (for instance ZFS bindings) have been updated to work with the new libzfs version. We also backported in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS other fixes in our kernel from the incoming 0.8.4 (and OpenZFS 2.0) release, like encryption performance enhancements. As usual, those releases ( 0.8.2 and 0.8.3) bring a lot of improvements and fixes, (note though that we backported some fixes in Ubuntu 19.10 from 0.8.2 into our package to fix some critical issues for our users). We updated from 19.10 to 20.04 LTS OpenZFS to its latest and greatest available release (0.8.3). We hope to be able to drop this experimental support in the coming cycle, and backport to a 20.04.x release. With OpenZFS on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, we are building the first steps of getting the Ubuntu bulletproof desktop.

The installer highlights this in the corresponding screen. The first thing to note is that our ZFS support with ZSys is still experimental. Without further ado, let’s dive into this! ZFS & Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

We will give you tips on how to tweak it at your convenience if you are a ZFS sysadmin expert, while still keeping ZSys advanced capabilities compatible. Finally, for the more tech savy, we deep dive into how we use ZFS, store properties and understand how the puzzle fits together. We then look at what ZSys, our dedicated helper for ZFS systems, can do for you and how you can interact with it. Here we cover what’s new compared to 19.10 in term of installation and general features. I strongly suggest you read the 2 blog posts, linked above, as introductions to this blog series we are starting. As explained, having a ZFS on root option on our desktop was only a first step in what we want to achieve by adopting this combined file system and logical volume manager. In 19.10, we introduced experimental support on the desktop. Ubuntu has supported ZFS as an option for some time.
