Sanboot on ZFS - pokkys - 2014-07-03 18:35
I have an idea about combining ZFS COW/clone/snapshot natural and SANboot. The ZVOL target should not be created until we hit the menu.
This is my prototype demo and code: http://youtu.be/gu_5dCHnfx8

Cool concept! Could you share your configuration and information on how you did this? Especially the backend scripts dealing with setting up the zfs volumes?

My code : https://github.com/chenpc/zanboot
I am moving the code to Nexenta Plugin
I don't know the Jentu's file system.
But using ZFS will save the RAM usage of a clone image.
Every clone of image share the same ARC cache.
If you clone 100 copies of a 40G image, it just take one copy of RAM.
