[zfs-discuss] FROSUG February Meeting Announcement (2/22/2007)
This month''s FROSUG (Front Range OpenSolaris User Group) meeting is on
Thursday, February 22, 2007. Our presentation is "ZFS as a Root File
System" by Lori Alt. In addition, Jon Bowman will be giving an OpenSolaris
Update, and we will also be doing an InstallFest. So, if you want help
installing an OpenSolaris distribution, backup your laptop and bring it
to the meeting!
About the presentation(s):
One of the next steps in the evolution of ZFS is to enable
its use as a root file system. This presentation will focus
on how booting from ZFS will work, how installation
will be affected by ZFS''s feature set, and the many advantages
that will result from being able to use ZFS as a root file system.
The presentation(s)s will be posted here prior to the meeting:
