<p>ZFS is one of the premier features of &os;. The current
documentation in the Handbook and elsewhere online is severely
lacking. Much of the original documentation from Sun and Oracle
has disappeared, moved, or is about the proprietary version of
ZFS.</p>
<p>New users have many questions about ZFS and yet there exists a
great deal more bad advice about ZFS than proper documentation.
The current ZFS chapter of the &os; Handbook starts off with the
required steps to configure an i386 machine to run ZFS. This is
more likely to scare off a new user than to educate them about
how to properly use ZFS.</p>
<p>At BSDCan&nbsp;2013, the process of writing an entirely new
chapter of the Handbook on ZFS was started. Currently this
chapter consists of approximately 16,000 words covering all
subcommands of the <tt>zpool(8)</tt> and <tt>zfs(8)</tt>
utilities, delegation, tuning and a section devoted to
defintions and explainations of the terms and features of
ZFS.</p>
<p>The remaining section is the FAQ. To help users address the
most common problems they might run into with ZFS. It would be
useful to hear experiences, questions, misconceptions, gotchas,
stumbling blocks and suggestions for the FAQ section from other
users. Also, a use cases section that highlights some of the
cases where ZFS provides advantages over traditional file
systems.</p>
<p>Please send suggestions to the <tt>freebsd-doc</tt> mailing
list.</p>
