The silly thing funded in fifteen minutes, and has gone high enough that all backers get a bonus ebook of FreeBSD Mastery: ZFS.
Yes, Allan and I are working on a new edition of the ZFS book. But the old one is still good, and applies to OpenZFS on any Unixy system.
Anyway, it’s there if you want it. The higher the Kickstarter goes, the more books I will give away.
The truth is, I don’t expect the current trajectory to continue. I made a point of asking folks to back the first day, in the hope that Kickstarter would notice momentum and slap “Project We Love” on it, blessing me with front page exposure. They still might. We’ll see.
Michael, great to see the new edition of the ZFS book coming along! Ive been using the old one for years and its still incredibly helpful. The bonus ebook is a fantastic incentive for backing the Kickstarter. Fingers crossed for that front-page exposure on Kickstarter! Its awesome how youre giving away freebies based on the funding level – really appreciate that. Cant wait to see whats in store for the new book. Keep up the great work on the blog and podcast too!speed stars unlock
