From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm using ZFS in RAID1 for my /home directory on Gentoo, but not for the root filesystem. Setting it up actually isn't too bad. It should be straightforward to install and only a couple commands to create and mount the zpool.
When I upgrade the system, sometimes it does not autoimport the zpool on next boot, and I need to do a
# zpool import -f pool_name && reboot, but otherwise there have been no issues.General ZFS config info:
