Re: [Wlug] ZFS on Linux vs. BTRFS or stick with EXT4?

by Tim Keller

Since I use zfs on a daily basis, I'd be glad to talk about it. How big are these drives? While you can use zfs as your boot FS, I think I'd stick with lvm/ext4 for / and / boot. I'd then carve out a big data space and use zfs for that. Are these disks going to raided? Thanks, Tim.

ZFS on Linux vs. BTRFS or stick with EXT4?

by Chuck Anderson

I'm migrating to new large drives and would lke to take advantage of a filesystem that has integrated data and metadata checksums. How well does ZFS on Linux really work? What is the current status of BTRFS? Which one would you trust your precious data to? I've been out of the loop lately... This would be a great meeting topic! "How to set up ZFS on Linux and/or BTRFS". Any takers?

I now have a "KOSSSEL" Delta 3D printer and can bring it to a meeting to show off and demonstrate. I've just started to get things "dialed in" to get really good, consistent prints out of it.

Upcoming stuff for WLUG!

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang, A couple things... 1. Speakers. As of right now I don't have any speakers lined up. If anybody wants to speak about something, or would like to suggest a topic they'd be interested in hearing spoke about let me know and I'll work on getting it set up. As for topics that I'm interested in... 3d printing! I know that WPI has a printer (that's running on a Pi even!) What OSS is out there to do modeling, etc? 2. WLUG BBQ Does August still work for everybody? I know it's early, but I figure it's better to start now and get things lined up then end up rushing around later... Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Hey Everybody, This Wednesday we're having our monthly WLUG meeting. I'm going to bring along my Pi and do a quick demo talk on GPIO (General Purpose I/O). I figure we can also talk about what who/what we'd like for speakers and topics. There will be refreshments and as usual we'll go to tech for pizza afterwards. See ya there! Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
