WLUG Meeting Thursday June 11th, 2015 Topic: ZFS on linux! NEW LOCATION!!!

by Tim Keller

The next WLUG meeting is June 11th, 2015. @ 7pm. NOTE: THE MEETING WILL BE IN THE CAMPUS CENTER RM 129 aka "Chairman's Room" I will be speaking about native ZFS on linux. I'll go into the structure of ZFS and its design principles, and how it's used in production. I'll then do a demo showing off what ZFS can do and I'll create a bunch of different FS types, etc. It should be a blast. Like usual there will be refreshments available. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Next Meeting June 11th, 2015: Topic: ZFS on linux

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody, Our next meeting is going to be on June 11th, 2015 @ 7:00pm. The topic is going to be "ZFS on linux". What is ZFS? ZFS is a logical volume manager (LVM), raid subsystem and a file system combined. I'll be doing a deep dive on how ZFS works on linux, it's strengths and weaknesses. Snacks and refreshments will be available. I'm working with Frank to verify the location. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Re: [Wlug] Next Meeting Topic: ZFS on linux?

by Frank Sweetser

Sounds good to me, and the comparison part would be timely with RHEL7 pushing XFS. ---- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

Next Meeting Topic: ZFS on linux?

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang, Would people find it interesting in doing either a ZFS centric meeting, or doing a compare/contrast Linux file system bonanza? Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Re: [Wlug] Great Meeting last night! Thanks Frank and Jeff!

by Jamie Guinan

Agreed, great meeting. I learned several things from Frank's talk, I had no idea about the "hot plate" and temperature issues. And it was cool to see Jeff's machine in action, despite the hiccups. I should go to more meetings. #sophisticatedcat -Jamie On Fri, 15 May 2015, Tim Keller wrote: > Hey Everybody, > > Last nights meeting was great.

A nice map of campus (with buildings unlabeled) is covered by a pop up, which tells you when Harrington was built and what ball teams like it. If you click it will change to something almost, but not entirely, unlike directions to somewhere random. >From the picture, I think it is the building just on the north side of the quad. Is that right? I expect to be there. I will sit on the brass goat and refuse to leave until someone tells me where Harrington is. Actually it may be easier than that. I think there is a map on a signpost near the fountain which is actually useful if you want to go somewhere. Or ask info in the student center. -- Keith
