debian-stretch-zfs-root

Installs Debian GNU/Linux 9 Stretch to a native ZFS root filesystem using a Debian Stretch Live CD. Installation with a Debian Jessie Live CD is supported as well, ZFS packages from backports.org will be used in this case.

Usage

  1. Boot Stretch Live CD ('standard' edition)
  2. Login (user: user, password: live) and become root
  3. Setup network and export http_proxy environment variable (if needed)
  4. Run this script
  5. User interface: Select disks and RAID level
  6. Let the installer do the work
  7. User interface: install grub to all disks participating in the array
  8. User interface: enter root password and select timezone
  9. Reboot

Fixes included

Bugs

  • Booting via EFI has not been tested at all.
  • During installation you might encounter some SPL package errors (Please make sure the kmod spl devel package is installed) which can be ignored safely.
  • grub-install mysteriously fails for disk numbers >= 4 (grub-install: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/disk/by-id/...).
