This month's FROSUG (Front Range OpenSolaris User Group) meeting is on Thursday, February 22, 2007. Our presentation is "ZFS as a Root File System" by Lori Alt. In addition, Jon Bowman will be giving an OpenSolaris Update, and we will also be doing an InstallFest. So, if you want help installing an OpenSolaris distribution, backup your laptop and bring it to the meeting!
About the presentation(s): One of the next steps in the evolution of ZFS is to enable its use as a root file system. This presentation will focus on how booting from ZFS will work, how installation will be affected by ZFS's feature set, and the many advantages that will result from being able to use ZFS as a root file system. The presentation(s)s will be posted here prior to the meeting: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/os_user_groups/frosug/ About our presenter(s): Lori Alt is a Staff Engineer at Sun Microsystems, where she has worked since 1991. Lori worked on Solaris install and upgrade and then on UFS, where she led the multi-terabyte UFS project. She has Bachelor's and Master's degrees in computer science from Washington University in St. Louis, MO. ----- Meeting Details: When: Thursday, February 22, 2007 Times: 6:00pm - 6:30pm Doors open and Pizza 6:30pm - 6:45pm OpenSolaris Update (Jon Bowman) 6:45pm - 8:30pm ZFS as a Root File System (Lori Alt) Where: Sun Broomfield Campus Building 1 - Conference Center 500 Eldorado Blvd. Broomfield, CO 80021 Note: The location of this meeting may change.
