Yeah, if I had to use a separate boot partition of any sort, I |
| 11 |
probably wouldn't make it zfs. There really isn't any benefit from |
| 12 |
using it for that. |

It might be FAT32 if I'm using EFI/etc, or it might be ext4. |

If I'm concerned about mirroring for something like that I could just |
| 17 |
rsync it once a day to zfs. We're talking about a tiny amount of data |
| 18 |
that doesn't change much, and if you use a week-old kernel after a |
| 19 |
restore it isn't the end of the world. |

What I probably should get around to is grokking EFI+linux. I'm not |
| 22 |
sure what the cleanest solution for that is these days - I've never |
| 23 |
actually set up EFI on linux, mostly because I'm not sure what the |
| 24 |
best practice is. I know at a high level that a few options exist. I |
| 25 |
want a final experience that is closer to grub2 than |
| 26 |
syslinux/lilo/etc, to use an analogy (not saying it should actually |
| 27 |
use grub). |
