So, as the panel "the state of zfs on..." concludes at zfs day, just wanted to bring up that it not only scale up, but it scales down. I posted the recipe to run zfs on the raspberry pi (arm processor). Pretty straightforward on raspbian with fuse. The details are here: http://raspberry-python.blogspot.com/2012/10/zfs-file-system-on-raspberry-pi.html If anybody is coming by CHS (hackerspace charlotte) tomorrow night to hear Eben Upton of the Raspberry Pi foundation, I''m bringing a Pi with ZFS, if you want to check it out. Next will have to be getting illumos to boot on one of these. Francois -- solarisdesktop.blogspot.com - raspberry-python.blogspot.com
