ReposDebian developer Petter Reinholdtsen has informed the community about the availability of the latest ZFS for Linux implementation of the ZFS filesystem for Linux kernel-based operating systems.
For those not in the known, ZFS on Linux is the official OpenZFS implementation for Linux, which promises to offer native ZFS support on any GNU/Linux operating systems, currently supporting Arch Linux, Ubuntu, Fedora, Gentoo, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, openSUSE, and now Debian.
Debian appears to be one of the last popular Linux kernel-based operating systems to include the ZFS for Linux packages in their software repositories, as Canonical beat them to it by a few months, as the recently released Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) distribution ships with full ZFS support.
