zfs discuss - Jan 2008 - ZFS Internals Deep Dive - Where can I find it?

The September 16, 2006 entry in Jeff Bonwick?s blog says ?Bill Moore and I will
host a four-hour deep dive into ZFS internals at the 2006 Storage Developer
Conference in San Jose.? Were the contents of this deep dive ever published in a
document or video? If not, will there be another ZFS internals deep dive in the
future?

I have found Jeff Blanchard?s ZFS deep dive at
http://www.austinsug.org/uploads/ZFS_Deep_Dive_Jan07.pdf, but this is more of a
features and administration overview than an internals discussion. The best
internals discussion I have found so far is the ZFS Source Tour at
http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/source/, but I was hoping to find even
more detailed information.

check out the "ZFS: Under the Hood" by myself and Jason Banham.  i
presented this at the London Open Solaris User Group last year, and
Jason and myself regularly give this talk both internally and
externally.

it''s available here:

   http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/links/

you should get both the presentation, and the "Layered Overview".

it''s a little out of date, as we are working on revisions to take into
account developments (such as L2ARC and slogs), plus a new take
on the VDEV and ZIO layers.
