A detailed look at Ubuntu’s new experimental ZFS installer

Yesterday brought exciting news on the ZFS and Ubuntu fronts-experimental ZFS root support in the installer for Ubuntu's upcoming interim release, Eoan Ermine. The feature appeared in the 2019-10-09 daily build of Eoan-it's not in the regular beta release and, in fact, wasn't even in the "current daily" when we first went to download it. It's that new! (Readers wanting to play with the new functionality can find it in today's daily build, available here.) Ars takes a look at this feature that's clearly in still in alpha.
