Ubuntu to get automated ZFS snapshots |
 |
The next version of Ubuntu is probably going to offer automatic ZFS snapshots as part of the package management process. Arstechnica is reporting that Ubuntu 20.04 will automatically take filesystem snapshots when the APT package manager is run to guard the system against broken upgrades and disruptive package changes. People who install Ubuntu on ZFS will also be able to boot into older snapshots of the operating system, much like openSUSE users can with Btrfs. "There weren't any snapshots on the freshly installed system yet, so we did a quick apt install gimp. Afterward, we saw that zsys had taken a snapshot in every dataset present on rpool. Having a snapshot taken prior to installing new packages means that, if something should go haywire, we can easily revert the system to its state prior to the new package being installed. Carving the system up into so many different datasets means, in turn, that we can roll back only those parts of the system affected by the package manager - for example, we can roll back packages without affecting data in the user's home directory."
