Hi,=20 would you mind sharing what you tune because I am in the process of using m= ore and more FreeBSD in our company and we have a couple of VMWare virtuali= zations.=20 I would love to use ZFS with beadm to be able to make working snapshots bef= ore modifying the system and use snapshots in general.
