default in openSUSE

zfs

stratis is not in Debian afaik.

But there's some stuff about "plain" ZFS.

Says ZFS is Oracle and I am not amazed by how Oracle maintains VirtualBox.

Also ZFS is not going to be mainlined in Linux due to licensing issues.

DKMS...

There is also OpenZFS but apparently not in Debian.
