** Description changed: The Xenial server installation iso (at least as of 2016-02-22) doesn't contain the zfs-utils package, so the user can't prepare his/her disks manually for ZFS during installation. While installing ZFS may not be something to be done through the installer allowing an (advanced) user the option to pop to a console and configure ZFS nonetheless seems like a good idea (for example as it will allow installing root on ZFS, see e.g. https://github.com/zfsonlinux /pkg-zfs/wiki/HOWTO-install-Ubuntu-16.04-to-a-Native-ZFS-Root- Filesystem). Currently I do see a btrfs-tools udeb package in /pool/main on the iso, but no zfs-utils package. - As a side note, the zfs kernel module is included in the iso, so running - modprobe zfs works, a parted udeb is available, so we're more than - halfway there ;-). + As a side note, the zfs kernel module is included in the iso (see + https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+source/linux/+bug/1509881), so + running modprobe zfs works, a parted udeb is available, so we're more + than halfway there ;-).
