I'm looking at setting up my first ZFS pool ('zpool'?) in a few weeks, on Linux. Will I be using OpenZFS or something else? Ubuntu 20.04.

(Sorry if noise; I'm just trying to get an idea of how relevant this 2.0 release is to me.)

Previously it was called ZFS on Linux, but now ZFS development is unified on the "OpenZFS" codebase shared both between Linux and FreeBSD as much of the development effort for ZFS in general ended up there.

Ah, I was wondering what happened since I stopped hearing about "ZFS on Linux" so now I know what to search for. Thanks!
