Upgrading zfs to 2.2.0-rc1 ?

[albert_a]

Congratulations everyone on the ZFS 2.2.0 release!

Having said that ZFS 2.2.0 itself has substantial amount optimisations, I'm curious, if the native (zoned) ZFS filesystem for LXC will be implemented in Proxmox.

I think this could have some good benefits, for example:
- probably some performance boost of using native ZFS vs EXT4 on ZVOL.
- running some applications with the native ZFS storage driver in LXC. For example LXD, Docker. As for LXD, ZFS is supposed to be faster and it is recommended.

Are my guesses correct?

Yes, and sub-datasets for your LX(C) container with the ability to snapshot them - as it is/was in FreeBSD with Jails.

Thanks for the confirmation, @LnxBil, and yes, datasets/snapshots in LXC are clearly a benefit!
