The ZFS File System Will be Included in Ubuntu, Says Mark Shuttleworth

A very interesting discussion started earlier today, October 6, on the Ubuntu Snappy Core mailing list about a method of adding kernel modules to a Snappy-based operating system.

Geoffrey J. Teale started the discussion asking Ubuntu Snappy developers if he could add Linux kernel modules to a system based on Snappy Core via a framework. The current method of adding kernel modules to an Ubuntu Snappy system would be by packaging them in a standard snap, which can be manually injected into the kernel packages using the “sudo insmod” command.
