If you're interested in ZFS, you may want to show up at denhac on Saturday. This is a denhac event, not an SFS event, but if you go, and they let you in, and you learn something, and it doesn't hurt, please give denhac a generous donation, just like you would at an SFS event.

Hello, Denhac

This Saturday I've been asked to run an introductory course on ZFS,
the Zetabyte Filesystem, first released by Sun Microsystems in 2005.

The ZFS Crash Course will be a practical course where you are expected
to use ZFS on a Linux virtual machine. A VM image compatible with
Virtualbox (and others) will be provided.

Please bring:

- A computer with the capability to host 64-bit VMs and 20GB of free
hard drive space. The testing VM will require 2GB of RAM.
  - Please test your ability to host VMs before the class.
  - If you don't know how to host VMs, follow the Virtualbox
introductory guide at
https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#intro-installing

- A working understanding of the Linux operating system and command
line, or the willingness to fake it and follow my lead. The course
will be entirely on the command line.

- The expectation that you will be destroying the test system in
various ways. Failure and recovery are part of the crash course.

If you create a VM with the following image, it should boot to a
screen that says "Debian GNU/Linux 8 debian.example.com tty1". That
will indicate that your machine will run the testing image.

p.s. No, you really can't log in to the cloud image above. Once you
have it working, you can delete it because you'll never use it for
anything else.
