<p><a href="http://wp.realraum.at/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/zfs_alive.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-637" src="http://wp.realraum.at/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/zfs_alive-241x300.jpg" alt="zfs_alive" width="241" height="300" /></a>Last night, r&Acirc;&sup3; saw, as a world premi&Atilde;&uml;re, the first boot of the first&Acirc;&nbsp;computer running pure Debian with ZFS-on-Linux.<br />
There definitely were some before,&Acirc;&nbsp;using third-party packages (including my other laptop), by this is an important step for native&Acirc;&nbsp;ZFS support in Debian.</p>
<p>I will probably be involved, in the coming weeks, in squashing ZFS bugs and making sure that&Acirc;&nbsp;Debian Stretch users get a smooth ZFS experience.<br />
Don't hesitate to drop by and ask questions if you are curious about ZFS, or borrow the ZFS books I added to the library &Acirc;&nbsp;;-)</p>
<p>The whole install is described <a href="http://wp.realraum.at/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/root-on-zfs.txt" target="_blank">here</a>&Acirc;&nbsp;and on&Acirc;&nbsp;a <a title="[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] Root-on-ZFS on Stretch" href="https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-zfsonlinux-devel/2016-May/000658.html" target="_blank">post to the pkg-zfsonlinux-devel</a> mailing-list.</p>
