Hi Max,

ZFS is not included in Linux kernel due to licensing issues. Have you seen the wiki page for zfs?

There is a Linux port of zfs (zfsonlinux) that has detailed instructions for use in Fedora: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/wik...

None of these links give methods of installing Fedora on ZFS. They say how to install the ZFS tools on an existing Fedora installation but not how to install Fedora to an existing ZFS file system, for example. Mentioning how one may go about this sounds like a useful addition to your answer, although the way the question was phrased seems to suggest the opposite was wanted. Nonetheless sounds like a useful addition to your answer, it might even be what originalmax wanted.
