Hi everybody!!
I've thought about install Mac OS and ArchLinux in dual boot on ZFS.
With a third partition to share my home directory.
Do you think it's possible?

OS X cannot be installed on ZFS, if that's what you were planning.
In any event, OpenZFS on OS X is compatible with ZFS on Linux, so yes you can use the same zpool on OS X and Linux.

Thanks for this fast response.
I'll just share the same zpool between Arch and Mac OS

Hi again.
Do you know if there is an issue if I crypt my home partition?
Because I will use LUKS or FileVault.

You are aware that OS X cannot read or write LUKS, and Linux cannot read or write FileVault, right?
