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 Solaris Express Developer Edition, backup your laptop and bring it to the meeting!
About the presentation:
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 will be posted here prior to the meeting:
