Arch Linux

Good evening, today I will be showing in this guide how to use the ZFS(Zetabyte-File-System) on Arch Linux. I shall be doing this because ZFS has a number of advantages that can be useful such as: Builtin Snapshots Feature Builtin Encryption Builtin File System Compression Builtin Deduplication Builtin Volume Manager Builtin Transfer Mechanism All of these features together make it a really appealing option to use as your file system, but do be warned that due to licensing issues between the GPL which Linux uses and CDDL which ZFS uses, ZFS cannot be included into the main line kernel. As such we will be using an external project called Arch ZFS which provides Arch Repositories for ZFS packages, you may also use the AUR for such tasks but generally is unrecommended as it would require you to create a new user and then build due to not being able to makepkg on the root user. ...

And also add our user to the libvirt group(for convience), do know this is a massive security risk as it’s the same as just giving the user no password root acces, if you do not want this you can ignore the last command but be aware you will have to enter a pasword when you wanna start your VM and do other such functions ...
