Mac-specific ZFS intro

December 20th, 2006

The website may have an awful name, but TheMacHackers.com provides a somewhat useful introduction to ZFS features. I have a gut feeling that site might go down, so I mirrored it.

Huh? How so?

According to the Hacker’s Jargon Guide, a hacker is:

A person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems and how to stretch their capabilities, as opposed to most users, who prefer to learn only the minimum necessary

Since the site seems to explore the Mac on a more technological level than most, it sure sounds fair to me…

Yes, I know the definition of a hacker. I just happen to find the name quite cliché and unimaginative. You’re entitled to disagree.

Your Own Thoughts

I'd love to hear your input. Just try to stick to a few rules:

Please, think before you post. It's not a chatroom — you have plenty of time to avoid gratuitous abbreviations (no "u" for "you", please) and to proofread. Everyone benefits from comments which have had an extra minute of thinking.
Though I virtually never delete a comment, I do reserve the right to do so for ones I deem irrelevant, unthoughtful, as trolling or as flaming, or otherwise hostile.
Unfortunately, you cannot currently edit. When necessary, do feel free to double-post; I will merge your posts together, and correct mistakes for you if you so wish.
Likewise, you cannot delete. You can, however, ask me to do it by contacting me. Please only do so if truly necessary.
I reserve the right not to approve comments with bogus names or e-mail addresses, but will typically leave them published as well.

Before you comment for the first time (or, after you have deleted cookies), you will have to answer a little challenge to prove that you are not a spammer.

Comments are written in Markdown.
