Session
In this talk, we'll take a visual and educational journey to the stars. We'll follow the adventures of the spaceship BSD-NL 2025 (since NCC-1701 was already taken) on their voyage of exploration. From its humble beginnings at the space dock, we'll see how ZFS was integrated into the ships systems and how the chief storage engineer saved the crew numerous times during their encounters in (disk) space.
Come along for the ride and learn all about the cool features that ZFS provides. You may think this is all science-fiction technology, yet it is available right here and now, for free.
