I noticed you used LeoFS for a storage layer. I've been following LeoFS for a while. Can you describe your experience with it and why you chose it, or any impression or thoughts about it.

Overall quite good, the system is very stable and the performance is good (probably not the fastest but decent).
The only thing to criticise (to a degree) would be that if the manual isn't followed precisely during the installation you can end up with a busted setup.
For why the choice. It's a solid distributed system, the concepts it uses the same principles as FiFo (masterless setup for high availability). Being written in Erlang means it works flawlessly on SmartOS and FreeBSD plus if you already use erlang gives the advantage to be able to look at the code if needed.
The LeoFS team is very quick to respond, works extremely diligent and takes their work serious (which is a big plus).
Even on the test system which gets brutally shut down (aka plugs pulled) about once or twice a week the installation works flawlessly even after a few month of this torment.
Of cause as always YMMV ;)

Thanks for answering.
Also, great work! I've always been impressed by Project-Fifo and DalmatinerDB

#8This is a huge boon for both SmartOS and FreeBSD. Furthering collaboration between the two. This is such a great piece of work that is such a great fit on FreeBSD. The community will love this and appreciate all the hard work dumped into this. It even has the Linuxulator (Linux binary compatibility) working for FreeBSD jails! Woo!!
Absolutely fantastic work by the fifo folks! Just stellar! The future is bright.

As a huge fan of erlang/elixir I'm glad to read this.

#10Hey I'm Heinz, if you have any questions feel free to ask.
The documentation has been saying that the zones in 0.9.2 will no longer work in 0.9.3. Can I assume that 0.9.3 is now "stable"?
Besides the fact that I have "thin" root zone in SmartOS and the fact that there are still a lot more images available for SmartOS, what things are there which would make you choose one over the other?
EDIT: vmadm allows kvm zones, does freebsd vmadm support bhyve as well? or is that not really possible?
EDIT2: thank you for your work
