Needed a palate cleanser this week, so dusted off and pushed on some old experiments and made this tiny toy #OpenZFS dashboard. This is all it is, just displaying live pool traffic, but it was nice and fun to make!

@oxyhyxo @pitrh @bsdcan @bsdtv So this is weird.

For the #OpenZFS Summit I arranged for a remote participation ticket that includes a T-shirt and other SWAG.

Weeeeeird.

Whoops, cleaned up some old zelta snapshots (keeping only the latest) and now

If anyone has experience installing #archlinux on #openzfs #zfs, I could use some assistance getting around the kernel 6.15.2 dependency for zfs-utils. I am using the archzfs repository.

@TomAoki thanks, one additional point: I would not ask OpenZFS to reject the type of code that it already accepts.

To avoid any possible confusion: I mean <https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/commit/6495dafd58b94a44fc9bc966ef47d6bc6916f5b9> as the supposedly offensive example.

I see nothing sloppy or offensive.

The two reviewers and the signatory are eminently well-qualified.

@catavz confirmed:

OpenZFS-encrypted root-on-ZFS is a feature of the installer for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (Resolute Raccoon).

<https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/>

Tested in VirtualBox on Kubuntu 25.10.

#OpenZFS #ZFS #Ubuntu

@ruben condensed:

1. Ubuntu, for simplified OpenZFS-encrypted root-on-ZFS

2. xubuntu-desktop

Whilst I have not tested <https://itsfoss.com/install-xfce-desktop-xubuntu/> @itsfoss (2023) the page is, at a glance, consistent with <https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/x1urvi/install_xfce_desktop_on_top_on_ubuntu_2204_server/imgtdiw/> (2022).

I chose Ubuntu 25.04 as my base for Kubuntu. I overlooked your comment about Ubuntu (sorry) because the installer made it so simple for me to get root-on-ZFS; and I love simplicity.
