At this month’s LUG event, we’ll be exploring the basics of the Zettabyte File System (ZFS) as well as discuss whether it would be a good choice for the root file system. All skill levels are welcome, but some basic knowledge of Linux will make the material easier to understand.

What to Expect:

  • Go over the basic concepts of ZFS
  • Explore core features of ZFS like: compression, redundancy, and encryption
  • Take a look at the pitfalls & benefits of using ZFS as a root file system
  • Learn about “out-of-tree” modules and DKMS
  • Discover why you’d want to use the ZFSBootMenu bootloader
  • Complete a demo Arch Linux install
