Finally. I got used to this on solaris 10 and missed it until FreeBSD got it.. ZFS and beadm are the included in the reasons i continue to run FreeBSD as a workstation, but these days with k8s and such I do tend to run a lot of linux VMs to do my daily work (devops stuff)...

The work lappy runs ubuntu with zfs on root, and it's pretty seamless, I'm very much onboard with it having boot environments! (zsys)

Zfs on a laptop means you run zfs with a single disk?

This is not unheard of among FreeBSD users. Most of ZFS's features do not require (or even necessarily benefit from) multiple disks.

Yup checksumming and snapshots and compression and at rest encryption are amazing to name a few

They make adaptors that let you replace the optical drive with another SATA drive. But my FreeBSD laptop has one disk and it's fine. You don't have redundancy, but you still get all the other features (snapshots, clones, compression), and even if it can't correct errors it will still catch data errors which is more than most other filesystems will do.

I ran ZFS with a single disk on a laptop. What's wrong with that?

Not necessarily, my laptop has 2 M2 slots.
