The Funtoo Linux project has transitioned to "Hobby Mode" and this wiki is now read-only.
ZFS Update
TBA
ZFS-related ebuilds* up to version 0.6.5.7 are being unmasked for funtoo-current builds on amd64 hardware (arch profiles 'x86-64bit' and 'pure64'). Newer versions introduce bug fixes, support for newer kernels, and in some instances, introduce new storage pool features.
ebuilds sys-fs/zfs, sys-fs/zfs-kmod and sys-kernel/spl
As best practice, it is strongly recommended that all users backup their data on a regular basis - irrespective of the file system being used. This could be particularly important should something go inadvertently wrong while modifying or updating a live file system.
