DESCRIPTION

The node-zfs library provies a thin, evented wrapper around common ZFS commands. It also contains functionality to automatically generate pool layouts based on a disk inventory.

ENVIRONMENT

The library was developed on an OpenSolaris snv_111b system and has subsequently been used on SmartOS.
