Hi everyone,
Are there any plans to support ZFS root installations with openSUSE?
***Without getting into the pros and cons of ZFS vs BtrFS***, I'd like
to mention that there are a lot of people who would love to use ZFS on
openSUSE. Ubuntu will be officially shipping and supporting ZFS with
their 16.04 release, which is widely seen as a huge advantage for
Ubuntu. I also noticed that ZFS is already packaged for openSUSE in the
semi-official "filesystems" OBS repo, but I'm not sure how how well it
works with openSUSE or if there are plans for better integration in the
future? What about grub2 integration on openSUSE for ZFS boot environments?
Again, please keep replies to this on-topic and don't start a technical
debate about the merits of BtrFS vs. ZFS.
Thanks for the replies!

Maybe we should start on the legal merit of ZFS vs BTRFS instead ?
Seriously, ZFS is an out-of-tree project and I don't expect people
spending time on integrating ZFS while we are probably the first
distribution with a rocking support for an equivalent (if not better)
filesystem which is integrated in upstream linux kernel.

This has been our stance since 2006:
Developers of the kernel community consider non-GPL kernel modules to be
infringing on their copyright. openSUSE does respect this position and
will not distribute non-GPL kernel modules as part of products.

Henne, just wondering out loud - is it also "is not allowed for legal
reasons" or really only "will not"? If the latter, perhaps we should
reconsider or even just leave it to the do-ocracy.
