Oracle Linux basically follows Red Hat, and since there's no ZFS support
in RH, there's none in Oracle Linux.  However, you CAN get OpenZFS from
EPEL which works just fine on Oracle Linux 8 unless you want your root 
filesystem to be on ZFS.

For the most part I am using xfs for giant filesystems, since it is 
relatively foolproof.
