== Open Issues with ZFS enryption ==
Should this guide not have a big fat red warning that tells users, that openzfs currently has encryption related bugs, which can lead to data loss when using recv/send?

== Unable to follow instructions from "Laying out the filesystem hierarchy" ==
I tried following the instructions from [[ZFS#Laying_out_the_filesystem_hierarchy]] but the system never fully booted and had errors about being unable to mount "/home" or "/root".
The fix was to use a legacy mountpoint instead, while also reducing the number of ZFS data sets to a minimum and using "/" as a ZFS data set instead of tmpfs.

== Inclusion of /var/persist ==
Looking over the post, there is no mention of creating a /var/persist directory. I'd personally recommend adding it as a separate volume/dataset which is autosnapshotted in case it is needed.
# zfs create -o canmount=on rpool/nixos/var/persist
