These scripts are now provided by the archzfs ISO and installed to `/usr/local/bin/` during `install-archzfs`. + +## Files to Remove +- `dotfiles/system/.local/bin/zfssnapshot` +- `dotfiles/system/.local/bin/zfsrollback` + +## Reason for Change +These scripts need to be available immediately after a fresh install from the archzfs ISO, before archsetup runs. Key use cases: + +1. **Rescue scenarios**: Rolling back from live USB when the installed system won't boot +2. **Genesis rollback**: If archsetup fails mid-run, user can rollback to genesis and retry +3. **Script availability**: The scripts themselves must survive a genesis rollback (they're now part of genesis snapshot) + +By including them in the ISO and `install-archzfs`, they're guaranteed to be present from first boot, with fzf also installed as a dependency. + +## Changes Made in archzfs +- Added `custom/zfssnapshot` and `custom/zfsrollback` +- `build.sh` copies them to `/usr/local/bin/` on the ISO +- `install-archzfs` installs `fzf` to target system (required by zfsrollback) +- fzf was already in ISO package list + +## Note: Keep fzf in archsetup +Archsetup should continue to install `fzf` in its package list. Archsetup can run on vanilla Arch installs with ext4 or btrfs (not just ZFS from archzfs ISO), where `install-archzfs` would not have run and fzf wouldn't be present. + +## Date +2026-01-19 |
