LOSUG the second

Last night saw the second London OpenSolaris User Group meeting, attended by about fifty people. Both of the longer talks (DTrace internals and a ZFS overview) were interesting and entertaining, though I have to admit that anyone from Sun who hasn’t sat through a couple of ZFS presentations by now must have been hiding in a cave…

Darren Moffat did a quick presentation on filesystem crypto that was informative - read the slides if you care about such things.

I took a bunch of pictures, but they are universally awful. In part this is because I left my camera set to ISO100 in a dark room, but a better flash (to reach the front of the room) or faster lens (to avoid the flash) would have perhaps made more difference. Oh well, a learning experience.
