more home NAS and ZFS boot!
Things have been crazy over the past few weeks. There have been so many wonderful things going on (like Community 1 and the OpenSolaris 2008.05 launch) and I've been so busy I have neglected my blog and audience.
Many of you took some time to watch the video of my experience building a home NAS box. If you are interested in such things I would highly recommend taking a look at Simon Breden's blog on his experience. Not only does he cover the configuration, but also the rational on why he chose his hardware and ZFS.
Speaking of ZFS, I would like to publicly congratulate the ZFS boot/ install team for their recent putback of the ZFS boot project. Lori, George, Eric, Mark, Lin, Eric and others put in well over 10,000 hours of effort (much of which was in the last 5 months) to make this project a reality. Back in build 88 the ZFS boot project was putback and this enable SPARC systems to use ZFS as the root file system. Then just this morning the install portion was putback into build 90. Again this putback enables systems to be installed with the legacy installer and use the features like LiveUpgrade and JumpStart for installation. The ZFS boot page has an FAQ and other useful documents on this project. Way to go team!!!

progress. We also interview 2 community members.
