*starts reading #freebsd Mastery: Advanced ZFS

* sees audience / prereq statement (self: oh shit, no I don't "understand why you can’t add a lone disk to your RAID-Z")

* *blushes*, goes back to e-book store, buys FreeBSD Mastery: ZFS

* goto line 2

Now diving in to Storage Essentials and once again my weekend appears set ;)

Thanks Allan Jude, @mwlucas, and et al for all your contributions to spreading BSD goodness around the world

@slackz Well, then, the prerequisite statement worked. ;-)

Thanks for buying the books, hope they help!

@mwlucas for sure. Glad I went back to the earlier material. Having gone through the auto installer for zfs / geli, it's great to learn more about the details there.

Also reading more about ufs / zfs distinctions is super helpful. Lol glad I have more ram coming cause I'm sitting on ~3G (right in that slightly uncomfortable zone you mentioned for the additional overhead).

@mwlucas also, sry last thing... I fucking love the cover art on your books. So good. Beastie Leading the People is my fav for sure though

Makes me want dead tree copies. That and of course it's always nice to have docs not on a screen for a change.

@slackz glad you like them. I try to not be boring.
