Some people on reddit say that it may not be in 16.04, will it?
I have lost lots of data on XFS, so I am looking foward to the ZFS.

As for ZFS, that's the intention: http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2016/02/zfs-is-fs-for-containers-in-ubuntu-1604.html – muru Mar 19 '16 at 07:59

So it will be the default file system when installing Ubuntu? What does baked mean? – JulianLai Mar 19 '16 at 08:02

1AFAIK that's still going to be ext4. ZFS will be the default for containers. – muru Mar 19 '16 at 08:04

What is the container? Sorry for my poor English. – JulianLai Mar 19 '16 at 08:06

It is a filesystem for containers (LXC, LinuX Containers) so not for the operating system itself. "ext4" will be the filesystem for Ubuntu at least for the next few years.
I can not pick it in gParted (well at least not yet):
-
Considering it combines LVM/RAID/traditional filesystem roles, ZFS is a lot more than a "filesystem for containers". Ubuntu only chooses to make it the default for containers. – muru Mar 19 '16 at 08:13
-
Yes I know. Was checking out gparted to see if it can be added there :D But looks like that is not the way to use it :-P It has its own management tools. – Rinzwind Mar 19 '16 at 08:15
