Hello zfs-code, I''m a master''s student at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. I''d like to do a project contributing features to ZFS, and I was wondering if anyone has suggestions for reasonable sized projects. For example, I thought allowing for removal of log devices might be a good place to start: familiarize myself with the ZFS codebase, build environment, and so forth. However, I don''t think this will take me a terribly long time (I could be wrong...) so suggestions for another project would be helpful. I could spend six to nine months working on this, but I''d rather not duplicate efforts that Sun is already making. Thanks! Will Murnane

Here are some other suggestions: 6527390 want to read zfs properties over nfs (eg via .zfs/props) 6421209 A means for users of nfs-mounted home directories to use ZFS snapshots & other goodies Good luck, George
