<p>ZFSguru is a multifunctional server appliance with a strong
|
||||
emphasis on storage. It desired to bring BSD and ZFS technology
|
||||
to a wider audience, while at the same time pleasing more
|
||||
advanced users as well with unique features. A <q>vanilla</q>
|
||||
ZFSguru installation comes with only Samba and a web-interface
|
||||
setup, but can be extended easily by installing addons called
|
||||
<q>services</q> to add functionality as desired. This prevents
|
||||
users from running stuff they do not need and do not want.
|
||||
Advanced users can still use ZFSguru as they would a normal &os;
|
||||
installation with a 100% ZFS setup (<q>Root-on-ZFS</q>).
|
||||
ZFSguru does not strip away anything, and uses a
|
||||
<tt>GENERIC</tt>-like kernel with only some additional stuff
|
||||
added like InfiniBand networking, Device Polling and AltQ. This
|
||||
means you can use a ZFSguru installation as you would use a &os;
|
||||
installation.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In the first month of 2014, ZFSguru has released beta9 version
|
||||
of the web interface. This release brings vastly improved support
|
||||
for Samba and NFS configuration. In particular, it adds a
|
||||
convenient drag-and-drop interface for Samba permissions. This
|
||||
allows novice users to configure access to shares in various
|
||||
configurations. It allows both control and usability, with no
|
||||
manual being necessary in order to operate it. This is the
|
||||
ZFSguru-style.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>New system versions have been released, based on &os; 9.2,
|
||||
10.0, and <tt>head</tt>. The experimental <tt>head</tt> version
|
||||
has <tt>vt(4)</tt> and X.org 7.12.4 and the Intel/Radeon KMS
|
||||
graphics drivers. That is, the latest and greatest of &os;
|
||||
graphics development. The ZFSguru project plans to release
|
||||
<tt>stable/10</tt> builds in the near future which also have the
|
||||
MFC'ed patches for <tt>vt(4)</tt>. Please see the
|
||||
<tt>vt(4)</tt> entry for more information.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Support for ZFS version 5000 is now universal across 9.2, 10.0
|
||||
and <tt>head</tt> builds. LZ4 compression is the key feature for
|
||||
ZFS version 5000. Otherwise users are advised to keep their
|
||||
pool versions as is, to be as compatible as you can with as many
|
||||
ZFS platforms as possible. Only upgrade the pool as you desire
|
||||
its functionality, forfeiting the compatibility with older
|
||||
storage platforms.</p>

|

<task>ZFSguru beta10 will increase compatibility of new added
|
||||
Samba functionality with non-Gecko browsers. It will also fix
|
||||
some minor bugs as well as speed up some pages by having a
|
||||
redesigned remote database system called GuruDB.</task>
|
||||
|
||||
<task>ZFSguru beta11 will add the one major feature still missing
|
||||
in ZFSguru: the Migration Manager. This allows users to maintain
|
||||
a file with all the configuration of their ZFSguru installation.
|
||||
It can be used like a firmware — restoring the machine to
|
||||
the exact state and configuration of the snapshot configuration.
|
||||
It allows users to maintain a backup of their ZFSguru
|
||||
configuration and makes upgrading to a newer ZFSguru system
|
||||
version without any hassle.</task>
|
||||
|
||||
<task>Automated system builds should bring more system image
|
||||
releases.</task>
|
||||
|
||||
<task>New website with new forum and new login system.</task>
|
||||
|
||||
<task>Developer website with GitLab setup, allowing bugreports,
|
||||
code contributions and wiki + wall messages. Note that GitLab has
|
||||
also been provided as ZFSguru service, for those interested in
|
||||
trying GitLab.</task>
