Only two issues of note the first I had reported to this list for 19.04 and is that crosstools configure does a version check for Bash version >3.1.  It checks for 3, 4 and no more.  Ubuntu is on v5 so it failed that check.  This time I went to the trouble of creating a patch which you can find in this commit (plus update to the readme)... https://github.com/dkerr64/astlinux/commit/a09900124220dd8f4c5cfe6f7d8a71e58bbeeaab

But you know, how bad could it be? lets try it.  Well don't bother.  I ran into a problem towards end of initrd.img build.  I don't know what the issue is but it just smelled like maybe something to do with the file system.  So I fired up another VM and installed again with regular old ext4 and everything is happy.  Astlinux builds and runs.

Hi David,

sorry being so late, I just stumbled upon this post again.
For the second ZFS part: I am running the AstLinux build engine on Proxmox in an old Debian 8 container on ZFS.

I do sometimes see the same genext2fs error you described. 
For me it helps just to start the build process again (only creating the image, no clean build).
