Patch is at https://github.com/FransUrbo/debian-partman-zfs/commits/master
in four different commits.

It's a little crude as yet, but it should be enough to
'get the ball rolling'...

Please test and give me comments.



Turbo Fredriksson (4):
      Support arch linux-any.
      + If os=linux, then modprobe and enable zfs partitioner.
      + Make absolutly sure that /boot/zfs exists before trying to import
        a ZFS pool - will fail if pool exists, but /boot/zfs doesn't.
      + Since loading the module might take 'a while', show progress info.
      + Don't automatically mount the file system(s) when importing the pool.
      + If os=linux, then create the ZVOL with volblocksize=4096.
      + Add some support functions: fs_create(), fs_check_exists(), get_vg_value().
      + Support creating and mounting a ZFS (not ZVOL) and make it a root file system.
