ZFS on FUSE/Linux README ------------------------ This project is a port of the ZFS filesystem to FUSE/Linux, done as part of the Google Summer of Code 2006 initiative. The project homepage is at http://zfs-fuse.net/ Status ------ See the STATUS file for status information. Compiling / Installing ---------------------- Please read the INSTALL file for instructions. Using ----- Just to be safe, you should backup all your data before using ZFS-FUSE. 1) Start the run.sh script in src/zfs-fuse. This will start the main zfs-fuse daemon process that must be running at all times. You should be running it with root permissions. Currently ZFS-FUSE is configured to use up to 128 MB of RAM, but it can grow larger with some usage patterns. It's recommended to have a machine with at least 1 GB of RAM. 2) Use the zpool and zfs commands to manage pools and filesystems. You can learn about these commands at the OpenSolaris ZFS community site: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/ If you find a bug, please report it. See the BUGS file for instructions.
