### Minio with ZFS backend - FreeBSD
This example assumes that you have a FreeBSD 10.x running
#### Step *1*
As root on the FreeBSD edit `/etc/rc.conf`
```
zfs_enable="YES"
```
Start ZFS service
```
# service zfs start
```
```
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/zfs bs=1M count=4000
```
Configure a loopback device on the `/zfs` file.
```
# mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /zfs
```
Create zfs pool
```
# zpool create minio-example /dev/md0
```
```
# df /minio-example
Filesystem 512-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
minio-example 7872440 38 7872402 0% /minio-example
```
Verify if it is writable
```
# touch /minio-example/testfile
# ls -l /minio-example/testfile
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Apr 26 00:51 /minio-example/testfile
```
Now you have successfully created a ZFS pool for futher reading please refer to [ZFS Quickstart Guide](https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/zfs-quickstart.html)
However, this pool is not taking advantage of any ZFS features. To create a dataset on this pool with compression enabled:
```
# zfs create minio-example/compressed-objects
# zfs set compression=gzip minio-example/compressed-objects
```
To keep monitoring your pool use
```
# zpool status
pool: minio-example
state: ONLINE
scan: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
minio-example ONLINE 0 0 0
md0 ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
```
#### Step *2*
Now start minio server on the ``/minio-example/compressed-objects``, change the permissions such that this directory is accessibly by a normal user
```
# chown -R minio-user:minio-user /minio-example/compressed-objects
```
Now login as ``minio-user`` and start minio server.
```
$ curl https://dl.minio.io/server/minio/release/freebsd-amd64/minio > minio
$ chmod 755 minio
$ ./minio server /minio-example/compressed-objects
AccessKey: X3RU3Q6B4T20TYB281W5 SecretKey: bvp0DF8c+6MzL60UxFqOZGlA5Z8UPfIAATUQuzLS Region: us-east-1
Minio Object Storage:
http://159.203.234.49:9000
http://10.12.0.5:9000
http://127.0.0.1:9000
Minio Browser:
http://159.203.234.49:9000
http://10.12.0.5:9000
http://127.0.0.1:9000
To configure Minio Client:
$ wget https://dl.minio.io/client/mc/release/freebsd-amd64/mc
$ chmod 755 mc
$ ./mc config host add myminio http://localhost:9000 X3RU3Q6B4T20TYB281W5 bvp0DF8c+6MzL60UxFqOZGlA5Z8UPfIAATUQuzLS
```
Point your browser to http://localhost:9000 and login with the credentials displayed on the command line.
Now you have a S3 compatible server running on top of your ZFS backend which transparently provides disk level compression for your uploaded objects.
Thanks for using Minio, awaiting feedback :-)
