Who: Ian Shearin
What: ZFS is pretty neat!
Where: 1930 SW 4th Avenue, Portland, Oregon 97201-5304, Room 86-01
When: Thursday, May 1, 2025 at 7 PM
Why: The pursuit of technology freedom
Description:
ZFS is incredibly reliable, feature rich, and well liked. This talk
surveys some of its popular features, compares them to Linux-native
features, and explores how to get OpenZFS running on Linux, with a focus
on Arch Linux. This is a high-level talk from the perspective of a user
new to ZFS.
Speaker bio:
Ian (they, them) is a longish-time Linux user, newish ZFS user, and
regular PLUG attendee who -- like most PLUG regulars -- has been prodded
to give a talk on interesting projects being worked on.
Venue:
PLUG is back at Portland State University. Thanks to the Computer
Science Department and to Andrew Greenberg for hosting us! The room is
in the basement of the PSU Engineering Building (also connected
underground to the Fourth Avenue Building, or FAB). Enter through the
Engineering Building. The outside door will be locked, but there should
be someone present at the entrance to let you in starting at 6:40pm
until 7pm. There will be a sign on the door with a phone number you can
SMS if there isn't someone there to let you in immediately.
PS: We are going to need a volunteer to hang out by the outside door
until start time to let people in, let me know if you are willing to do
that. Thanks!
