Cool; to start with, do you have a virtual appliance software like VMware or VirtualBox? Experience with generating ZFS pools in said software? VirtualBox/Qemu, Qemu is able to emulate boot to serial for example. And yes I tried working with ZFS in VMs. I think that we may have something to test next month. Right now, we're working on the ability of bsdinstall(8) to provision "Boot on ZFS" as a built-in functionality. That sounds cool. -- Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow. ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

This feature (when in; projected for 10.0-BETA1) will make testing the Forth enhancements easier (IMHO). -- Devin _ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.
