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.

It would be great to be able to learn from someone who really use it and ha=
s experience

Thanks
Best
Ray
