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.

+ +

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.

+ +

At BSDCan 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 zpool(8) and zfs(8) + utilities, delegation, tuning and a section devoted to + defintions and explainations of the terms and features of + ZFS.

+ +

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.

+ +

Please send suggestions to the freebsd-doc mailing + list.
