install xfs jfs btrfs kernel support

under debian this is pretty simple, those commands will download and install the missing kernel modules…

apt-get install xfsprogs; # install xfs support
/lib/modules/4.12.0cuztom/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko
/lib/modules/4.12.0cuztom/kernel/fs/freevxfs/freevxfs.ko
apt-get install jfsutils; # install jfs support
/lib/modules/4.12.0cuztom/kernel/fs/jfs/jfs.ko
apt-get install btrfs-tools; # install btrfs support
/lib/modules/4.12.0cuztom/kernel/fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko
apt-get install f2fs-tools; # install f2fs support
/lib/modules/4.12.0cuztom/kernel/fs/f2fs/f2fs.ko

apt-cache search zfs; # no package for zfs
golang-go-zfs-dev - Go library for ZFS manipulation
libguestfs-zfs - guest disk image management system - ZFS support
simplesnap - Simple and powerful network transmission of ZFS snapshots
zfs-fuse - ZFS on FUSE

try out xfs first https://linhost.info/2012/08/format-a-volume-as-xfs-in-debian-and-ubuntu/

it is way easer to get started than with ZFS – the so called pro-filesystem that requires EEC memory and ain’t easily installed on Debian.
