ArchLinux install script with ZFS as the root, all sitting on LUKS encryption, using systemd-boot for UEFI (ArchLinux with ZFS Root on LUKS with UEFI)
#!/bin/sh
SWAPSIZE=3 # IN GB
SYSTEM_NAME=aerozine # Hostname and used in ZFS structure (zroot/sys/${SYSTEM_NAME}/ROOT/default)
USER=xunil # Initial admin user for the system
# Archlinux on ZFS Root on LUKS setup script (v1.0)
#
# USAGE: ./ArchLinux_ZFS_LUKS_Setup.sh /dev/sda
#
# Author: Chris Campbell (https://gist.github.com/xunil154)

# With LOTS of help from online docs:

#
# The key to making this all work was 'mkinitcpio-sd-zfs' and the 'root=zfs:zroot/sys/${SYSTEM_NAME}/ROOT/default'
# line in the systemd-boot options. Wiki's say to use just 'zfs=zroot/sys/${SYSTEM_NAME}/ROOT/default' which
# is not honnored through sd-zfs
#
# This script will auto-partition the disk with [ /boot 1GiB FAT ][ LUKS for the rest of the disk ]
