Re: ZFS on Linux (Was: Corrupt file system)

ZFS is not "native" Linux fs, it was ported from Solaris & BSD OS's,
you can read more about it in the history section of ZFS wiki page
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS#History>.

- FreeNAS use it for the NAS storage pool,
- Ubuntu/Canoncial started to integrate it with version 16.04 (IIRC)
- and I also tried it on my laptop with Fedora (which some time's breaks
because of the frequent Kernel upgrades)
