[zfs-discuss] reminder: ZFS day next Tuesday
If you've been hiding under a rock, not checking your email, then you might not have heard about the Next Big Whopper Event for ZFS Fans: ZFS Day! The agenda is now set and the teams are preparing to descend towards San Francisco's Moscone Center vortex for a full day of ZFS. I'd love to see y'all there in person, but if you can't make it, be sure to register for the streaming video feeds. Details at: www.zfsday.com Be sure to prep your ZFS war stories for the beer bash afterwards -- thanks Delphix! -- richard -- illumos Day & ZFS Day, Oct 1-2, 2012 San Fransisco www.zfsday.com richard.ell...@richardelling.com +1-760-896-4422 ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

Now you're going to ask me where you can get a subnet manager for illumos/solaris/whatever, and I'm going to have to plead the fifth because I haven't looked into it. --Tim ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
