[19:42] <mnathani_> whats the best way to acquaint ones self with ZFS? What Operating System / Virtualized hardware in terms of disks would I use?
[19:57] <mercutio> solaris :/
[19:57] <mercutio> nah it doesn't really matter
[19:57] <mercutio> there's nothing particularly complicated about it i reckon
[19:57] <mercutio> openindiana, linux, freebsd are all fine choices.
[19:58] <mercutio> i would stay away from solaris now though
[19:58] <mercutio> recent solaris and recent free stuff isn't compatible, and oracle have kind of made a mess of it.
[19:59] <mercutio> for disks, if running on real hw, then 3 hard-disks + 1 ssd is probably a nice place to start.
[20:00] <mercutio> but you can run it on even just a single hard-disk and still get snapshotting and other useful features.
[20:17] <mnathani_> how about multiple virtual disks residing on a single ssd?
[20:18] <brycec> For getting the hang of it, sure that's fine
[20:18] <brycec> Doing production-level stuff... no :p
[20:19] <brycec> But if you're just getting the hang of the commands, then pick Linux (eg Arch), FreeBSD, or some Solaris derivitave that you're most comfortable with.
[20:50] <mnathani_> brycec: definitely not production stuff
[20:51] <mnathani_> does any operating system provide a decent gui for beginners to get started with zfs?
[20:51] <brycec> FreeNAS
[20:51] <mnathani_> Or is it command line based for the most part?
[20:51] <mnathani_> k
[20:51] <brycec> It's commandline mostly. But FreeNAS is nice and gooey.
[20:52] <brycec> ^It=ZFS
[21:47] <mnathani_> how does the built in iscsi and samba support vary between FreeBSD and Linux?
[21:57] <brycec> Linux doesn't have any.
[21:57] <brycec> And FreeBSD doesn't really either.
[21:58] <brycec> (But the built-in NFS support is there in FreeBSD)
[21:58] <brycec> Specifically, it just ties-in to mountd, providing a few more exports(5) entires
[21:58] <brycec> *entries
[22:05] <mercutio> solaris has the best built in samba
[22:05] <mercutio> other than windows
[22:05] <mercutio> linux, bsd, and os x are all pretty weak
[22:06] <mercutio> oh in solaris samba is built into zfs
[22:06] <mercutio> with linux it just interfaces to samba
[22:07] <mercutio> i wonder when samba will get smp support

[22:25] <mnathani_> smp is multi processor support?
[22:25] <mercutio> yeh
[22:25] <mercutio> freenode is being special i see
[22:26] <mnathani_> netsplit again?
[22:26] <mercutio> looks that way
[22:26] <mnathani_> I have joins and parts hidden so I cant really tell
[22:28] <mnathani_> any kvr hosts left to be updated ?
