  1. What is your proposal?

The main goal of this presentation is to describe the current state of ZFS on Linux in relation to Linux with emphasis on Fedora and show off a day-to-day experience of using ZFS as a root file system with all the required hacks to make it happen, benefits of using ZFS and honest analyze of cost-benefit ratio. In the extended version, I would like to demo an alternative to Silverblue approach based on ZFS and briefly introduce all the new features released in the recent 0.8.0 version.

  1. Who in addition to the speaker needs to be in the room for this to succeed? This could be the audience you need to reach, other participants in the conversation, or other stakeholders.

Whoever is interested is welcome.

  1. Is this a…

  2. 25/50 minutes: Talk - could be fit in both time slots, in a longer variant presentation can include demo and expanded introduction to ZoL internals.

  3. Anything else we need to know?

No special requirements.

  1. Who are you?

  2. Name: Marcin Skarbek

  3. FAS ID: mskarbek

Which talk length is preferred by you?

25 min is enough.

How much of this is for a Fedora-internal audience? Would this be better as something we send you to another conference to talk about?

The presentation will touch all the things that need to be done to make ZFS usable on a daily basis like the need of recompiling kernel, dnf plugins, dracut modules but it's not Fedora specific just all the examples are based on the Fedora.

Since we can't include ZFS in Fedora itself, I think this might be better as a talk for devconf or another end-user or sysadmin-focused conference.
