BSDCAM devsummit notes - storage & zfs
- maybe some ext4 r/w fsu@ working on this
- mount root (avoid probing irrelevant devices and return early like nfs does)
- 9p needs more work before its usable
- NFS + iSCSI integration for FreeBSD
- smb 3.0 sid mapping
- zfs: fault management
- automate disk partitioning
- needs to handle disk encryption layer
- which disk should be attached
cam & geom need to be aware
- geom tasting can get into glabel loops
- how can we tell it to stop?
- zfs: per-dataset encryption
- teach all drivers to return physpath info
- link /dev/led to physpaths in geom

- bcr was talking zfs at linuxday
newcomer intro & replication discussion
- massive difference between zfs implementations across linuxes
ZIL overflow should smear backpressure over a sliding window rather a peak of pain while 10s of GiBs
- could be zfs transaction estimator should take into account that also goes to disk
- would be cool to use S3-like storage as a backend for geom layers and use local disks for caching
- somebody (tm) should replace GPL dialog installer with a de novo libdialog
- docs update needed for zpool/zfs manpages
- zfs delegation
- zpool checkpoints
- teach installer to be able to
- install into a boot env
- deploy an existing zfs dataset(s)
- make a bigger EFI partition and put swap at *end* of disk
- would be nice to be able to use zfs features like BE in installers, jails, bhyve
- adduser should be able to create homedir as dataset
- pkg install should also be able to do snapshots for you
libbe(3) and bectl(8) arrived recently for managing boot environments programmatically see https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/lib/libbe/ and https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sbin/bectl
