  • — Here's a short article giving a ZFS 101 intro and list of commands in one place.

  • Mergerfs: a featureful union filesystem
  • A Chat with mergerfs Developer
  • — Alex, Drew from ChooseLinux and Brent (of the Brunch fame) sit down with Antonio Musumeci, the developer of mergerfs during the JB sprint.
