Enhancing our ZFS support on Ubuntu 19.10 - an introduction Ubuntu has supported ZFS as an option for some time. We started with a file-based ZFS pool on Ubuntu 15.10, then delivered it as a FS container in 16.04, and recommended it for the fastest and most reliable container experience on LXD. We have also created some dedicated tutorials for users who want to become more familiar with ZFS concepts, like on basic layouts and taking snapshots.

Surprisingly, the still ongoing discussion thread of more than 1500 messages hasn’t (yet?) broken discourse!

From the start, Sam Hewitt’s beautiful Suru icons were included and over time, the effort brought new system sounds and new cursors under its wing.
