The Friendly Cat

In the morning I saw the cat that had visited us a few times in the front of our house. I called it and let it inside. It's a beautiful cat and very friendly. It started to visit us earlier this year.

RAID-Z Expansion Feature for ZFS In the Home Stretch

The Foundation sponsored feature reflows existing data to rewrite it onto a new arrangement of disks thereby freeing space at the end of the logical RAID-Z group

The FreeBSD Foundation funded the project to ensure the completion and release of an easy-to-use and practical application. The project came in under budget despite delays caused by the pandemic. The feature was developed by Matthew Ahrens and is now completed but not yet integrated.

The purpose of this overview is to introduce the feature and explain how it works.
