===== BSDCAM devsummit notes - storage & zfs =====

  * maybe some ext4 r/w fsu@ working on this
  * mount root (avoid probing irrelevant devices and return early like nfs does)
  * 9p needs more work before its usable
    * servers: https://github.com/freenas/lib9p & https://reviews.freebsd.org/D10335
    * client: https://github.com/wca/p9fs
  * NFS + iSCSI integration for %%FreeBSD%%
  * smb 3.0 sid mapping
  * zfs: fault management
    * automate disk partitioning
    * needs to handle disk encryption layer
    * which disk should be attached
    * cam & geom need to be aware
  * geom tasting can get into glabel loops
    * how can we tell it to stop?
  * zfs: per-dataset encryption
  * teach all drivers to return physpath info
  * link /dev/led to physpaths in geom
  * https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2018-August/070524.html
  * bcr was talking zfs at linuxday
    * newcomer intro & replication discussion
    * massive difference between zfs implementations across linuxes
  * ZIL overflow should smear backpressure over a sliding window rather a peak of pain while 10s of %%GiBs%%
    * could be zfs transaction estimator should take into account that also goes to disk
  * would be cool to use S3-like storage as a backend for geom layers and use local disks for caching
  * somebody (tm) should replace GPL dialog installer with a de novo libdialog
  * docs update needed for zpool/zfs manpages
    * zfs delegation
    * zpool checkpoints
  * teach installer to be able to
    * install into a boot env
    * deploy an existing zfs dataset(s)
    * make a bigger EFI partition and put swap at *end* of disk
  * would be nice to be able to use zfs features like BE in installers, jails, bhyve
  * adduser should be able to create homedir as dataset
  * pkg install should also be able to do snapshots for you
  * ''%%libbe(3)%%'' and ''%%bectl(8)%%'' arrived recently for managing boot environments programmatically see https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/lib/libbe/ and https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sbin/bectl
