archlinux-alez-2018.10.03

After a 2 year hiatus, I became motivated to update alez and the archlinux-alez ISO because I want to test the zedenv GRUB plugin, which promises to bring ZFS boot environments to the Linux GRUB menu, a feature I've wanted under Linux for years.

The old ALEZ install ISO stopped working a while ago because the pacman key for the arch ZFS repo changed. This updated ISO includes the new key for the arch ZFS repo, the alez script now disables atime on the pools for increased performance and ZFS features not compatible with FreeBSD ZFS have been disabled so that it should be possible to import any pools created with ALEZ under FreeBSD. If you don't care about FreeBSD compatibility then feel free up 'upgrade' the pool to enable the ZoL-specific features.

Write the ISO to a USB drive or burn to a disc as you would regular Arch.
