Ubuntu 24.04

From the comments: "These exact instructions are not working on Ubuntu 24.04. Ubuntu has changed the naming of ZFS partitions, partition 2 and 3 are switched around, and the boot/efi folder is now different."

I don't have my dual-disk test system any longer, and so can't adjust these steps myself.

Overview

Ubuntu Desktop 20.04 supports a single ZFS boot drive out of the box. I wanted a ZFS mirror, without going through an entirely manual setup of Ubuntu as described by OpenZFS in their instructions for Ubuntu 20.04 and instructions for Ubuntu 22.04

# Assumptions and requirements
# - All drives will be formatted. These instructions are not suitable for dual-boot
# - No hardware or software RAID is to be used, these would keep ZFS from detecting disk errors and correcting them. In UEFI settings, set controller mode to AHCI, not RAID
# - These instructions are specific to UEFI systems and GPT. If you have an older BIOS/MBR system, please use https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Getting%20Started/Ubuntu/Ubuntu%2020.04%20Root%20on%20ZFS.html
