So I'm going to try getting my crunching back up, but I'm not doing it without ZFS on linux. In particular, the OS needs to be on ZFS. I found this guide: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/pkg-zf...oot-Filesystem
But it has problems.
At step 5.5 software-properties is gone. But I can work around that since apt-get kindly tells me what the substitute is.
But 5.6+ is where things go heavily wrong. There is no zfs-grub and I have zero clue how to make it work.
I've got an ESXi server with 16c/32t and one CPU is never active. For whomever can either provide updated working instructions to that link or in this forum my VM will be dedicated to CPU1 for 30 days doing *any* work units your heart desires. Yes, even CEP2.
I've got multiple other machines that need to be assembled and such that I plan to use this winter for "heating", but I'm not going to get into WCG this year without ZFS on linux as root. Too many problems with corruption on hard drives and stuff in past years that took too long to identify. I'm going full steam of all stop on WCG this winter. :P
I know ZFS inside and out, but I don't have a clue about grub and Linux bootloading stuff.
Any takers?
I can help out if you have questions about ZFS, but the real problems are with the grub package install commands. It's which grub package to install, how to setup grub to boot from ZFS (parameters), etc.
The instructions on the link are for Ubuntu 14.04. I plan to use this with Linux Mint 17 (latest Long Term Support version), so working instructions for either OS will work. I can make the conversion from Ubuntu to Mint easily.
