Wiki Access for ZFS

Hi, I recently completed an Artix Linux installation with OpenZFS, and I would like to contribute to the Installation on ZFS article on the wiki with what I learned. I recorded all of the commands I ran during the installation, and I would like to update this guide so future users will have less issues that I did during the installation.

Thank you!

What issue?

For one, the OpenRC script to mount ZFS filesystems on boot is incorrectly formatted on the page, not to mention the script didn't do anything for me and I instead just put the `zfs mount -a` command in a local.d start script. The Artix page also went overkill with the bootflag `root=ZFS=bootfs` as you really only need `zfs=bootfs`. Other than that, the page could help explain how to create a ZFS pool with encryption, and some other portions of the guide are outdated or at least have incomplete information in comparison to ArchWiki. I'm not entirely sure what bits of left out information could have broken my install because I was careful to follow both wiki pages  :)

There's also a bug that makes it unwise to use `sync=always` for the swap volume. See this. I used `sync=standard` to be safe.

The wiki page was very useful, and my experience was fine; I just think it would be helpful if I could piece some information I learned from the ArchWiki page and other sources to help out.

I don’t do encrypted zfs. I wrote the guide, it may be more so of step for step kind of writing but I’ve never had an issue with zfs using what I put in the wiki. I don’t care if you add to it though. I don’t have right to add ppl to the wiki
