      Yup. It booted fine but after a few reboots, bpool somehow got corrupted and refused to boot. It happened repeatedly after several reinstalls.

        ZFS hits memory hard and sometimes can bring out latent deficiencies in that hardware. on non-optimal hardware its a bit of a hardware torture test in its own right.

        having said that, EXT4 and XFS are wonderful unless you need zfs/btrfs.

          Always run 3-4 passes of Memtest86+ on any newly acquired hardware/RAM modules.

        Yeah, the current implementation from the installer never got beyond the experimental stage when it was first introduced. I saw there’s a new “guided setup” in the 24.04 release notes. No idea what it entails yet. I think I’ve also seen a page for setting it up for / in OpenZFS’es docs. I might try it at some point.
