12:52 PM - Adventures in ZFS

MidnightBSD current includes ZFS (version 6).  Over the weekend, I got some time to kick the tires.  A usb based disk was setup with a ZFS pool and some informal benchmarking was done.  We also created a new ZFS kernel config file to help people setting up a simple environment.  Tuning is necessary with ZFS, but it's a good head start.

Results were promising overall.  Since a formal methodology was not used, I won't post results.  One thing to note is that magus will not work with ZFS.
