I've created an experimental FreeBSD 12.0 ZFS AMI in the us-east-1 region: ami-0786f5b55d5aa573f Since I'm basically a ZFS newbie (I run it on my laptop, but only with the default setup from the installer, and I've never used any of the fancy ZFS features) I don't know if I've set everything up properly. So far I have one piece of feedback, which is that I should have marked canmount=off for zroot. Can people please try out this AMI and let me know if there's anything else (ZFS-related) which I should fix? Some time next week I'll fix whatever people notice and build AMIs for all the regions. -- Colin Percival Security Officer Emeritus, FreeBSD | The power to serve Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
