 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.
