I'm using PC-BSD and ZFS. ZFS is outstanding. Somewhat less impressed
with PCBSD.
I've grown addicted to ZFS I think. I love it's snapshots although I
already know of new features I would love in new development beyond
v28. At least for PCBSD it's nice to be able to rollback to a usable
Just a few questions about what ZFS actually does. So if anyone has

others would appreciate the answers.

One of my biggest gripes with the ports system is dependency hell.
Ports link against so my optional components and pull them into the

I have multiple systems and jails at my home. I would very much like to

I would like to have something like virtual terminals that continue

Just wondering about the interaction of pkg_info (no args) and having a
ports directory.
Without it it's blazing fast, with it it is just slow and sometimes just
breaks during the listing.
There is nothing in the man page about it reading the ports directory or
why it would want or need to.
Just spent some time figuring this out.

But after I added myself to the group while I could id username my
