There are links to videos and other materials here:

Not as organized as I'd like...

Hi Hans,

Start with the ZFS Admin Guide, here:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26502_01/html/E29007/index.html

Or, start with your specific questions.

Thanks, Cindy

I've seen a few tutorials written by people who obviously are very
action oriented; afterwards you find you have worn your keyboard down a
bit and not learned a lot at all, at least not in the sense of
understanding what zfs is and what it does and why things are the way
they are.

I'm looking for something that would make me afterwards understand what,
say, commands like zpool import ... or zfs send ... actually do, and
some idea as to why, so I can begin to understand ZFS in a way that
allows me to make educated guesses on how to perform tasks I haven't
tried before.
And mostly without having to ask around for days on end.

For SOME part of zfs I'm already there, but only for the things I had to
do more than twice or so while managing the Swedish lab at Sun Micro.

man zpool
man zfs
And the ZFS Best Practices Guide
And the ZFS Evil (I forget what it's called, performance tuning? just search 
for evil, you'll find it.)

But almost everything is literally in the man pages.
