ZFS on FreeBSD
6:30pm, Suspenders Restaurant
http://www.suspendersbar.com/location.php
Ike & Yarema will tag-team this meeting.
ZFS the breakthrough file system in FreeBSD 7 (ported from Sun's
Solaris 10 Operating System) delivers virtually unlimited capacity,
provable data integrity, and near-zero administration. However FreeBSD`s
sysinstall(8) does not yet support installing the system onto anything
more exotic than a commonly used UFS partition scheme. Furthermore,
FreeBSD`s boot loader(8) cannot yet load the kernel and modules from ZFS.
This meeting will cover installing FreeBSD 7.0 on ZFS as the root
filesystem with a boot partition on a GEOM gmirror. Attendees are
encouraged to read, download and try the zfsboot scripts at
http://yds.CoolRat.org/zfsboot.shtml The rational behind the zfsboot
script will be demystified and an install will be demonstrated. Anyone
who brings a (minimum 1 Gig) USB thumb drive can go home with a bootable
"root on ZFS" installer. Anyone who brings a hard drive can go home with
FreeBSD installed on a ZFS root.
Bios
Yarema has been a FreeBSD administrator for more than a decade. A
contributor to the FreeBSD ports collection. Likes to mouth off about
his latest exploits with the OS only to be rewarded by getting
"volunteered" to do a lecture at an upcoming NYC*BUG meeting.
Ike has been orbiting NYCBUG since the beginning. Not only does he not
think within the box, he doesn't even know there *is* a box. He used to
give talks on jail(8) in New York, but since he`s been banned from it,
he is forced to do them for other unsuspecting BSD users at conferences
like AsiaBSDCon and EuroBSDCon.
