ZFSguru is a multifunctional server appliance with a strong + emphasis on storage. It desired to bring BSD and ZFS technology + to a wider audience, while at the same time pleasing more + advanced users as well with unique features. A vanilla + ZFSguru installation comes with only Samba and a web-interface + setup, but can be extended easily by installing addons called + services to add functionality as desired. This prevents + users from running stuff they do not need and do not want. + Advanced users can still use ZFSguru as they would a normal &os; + installation with a 100% ZFS setup (Root-on-ZFS). + ZFSguru does not strip away anything, and uses a + GENERIC-like kernel with only some additional stuff + added like InfiniBand networking, Device Polling and AltQ. This + means you can use a ZFSguru installation as you would use a &os; + installation.

+ +

In the first month of 2014, ZFSguru has released beta9 version + of the web interface. This release brings vastly improved support + for Samba and NFS configuration. In particular, it adds a + convenient drag-and-drop interface for Samba permissions. This + allows novice users to configure access to shares in various + configurations. It allows both control and usability, with no + manual being necessary in order to operate it. This is the + ZFSguru-style.

+ +

New system versions have been released, based on &os; 9.2, + 10.0, and head. The experimental head version + has vt(4) and X.org 7.12.4 and the Intel/Radeon KMS + graphics drivers. That is, the latest and greatest of &os; + graphics development. The ZFSguru project plans to release + stable/10 builds in the near future which also have the + MFC'ed patches for vt(4). Please see the + vt(4) entry for more information.

+ +

Support for ZFS version 5000 is now universal across 9.2, 10.0 + and head builds. LZ4 compression is the key feature for + ZFS version 5000. Otherwise users are advised to keep their + pool versions as is, to be as compatible as you can with as many + ZFS platforms as possible. Only upgrade the pool as you desire + its functionality, forfeiting the compatibility with older + storage platforms.

+ + + + ZFSguru beta10 will increase compatibility of new added + Samba functionality with non-Gecko browsers. It will also fix + some minor bugs as well as speed up some pages by having a + redesigned remote database system called GuruDB. + + ZFSguru beta11 will add the one major feature still missing + in ZFSguru: the Migration Manager. This allows users to maintain + a file with all the configuration of their ZFSguru installation. + It can be used like a firmware — restoring the machine to + the exact state and configuration of the snapshot configuration. + It allows users to maintain a backup of their ZFSguru + configuration and makes upgrading to a newer ZFSguru system + version without any hassle. + + Automated system builds should bring more system image + releases. + + New website with new forum and new login system. + + Developer website with GitLab setup, allowing bugreports, + code contributions and wiki + wall messages. Note that GitLab has + also been provided as ZFSguru service, for those interested in + trying GitLab. + +
