[manjaro-dev] zfs support?

[kendell clark]

hi
Good enough for me. I'll turn zfs support on, but will add a note to our
docs to only use it as non critical filesystems for now. I'll also point
people to that archwiki page, thanks a lot for that, it's some fantastic
documentation.
Thanks
Kendell clark
