| Compiling / Installing |
| ---------------------- |
| |
| Please read the INSTALL file for instructions. |
| |
| Using |
| ----- |
| |
| Just to be safe, you should backup all your data before using ZFS-FUSE. |
| |
| 1) Start the run.sh script in src/zfs-fuse. |
| |
| This will start the main zfs-fuse daemon process that must be running |
| at all times. |
| You should be running it with root permissions. |
| |
| Currently ZFS-FUSE is configured to use up to 128 MB of RAM, but it can |
| grow larger with some usage patterns. It's recommended to have a machine |
| with at least 1 GB of RAM. |
| |
| 2) Use the zpool and zfs commands to manage pools and filesystems. |
| |
| You can learn about these commands at the OpenSolaris ZFS community |
| site: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/ |
| |
| If you find a bug, please report it. See the BUGS file for instructions. |
