 # 1. Status of NetBSD zfs port
  
 NetBSD zfs port is work in progress and can easily panic your system.
+
+**ZFS currently works ony on i386!!**
+
 ---
 # 2. Using NetBSD ZFS port 
 
-
 ## Instalation 
 
+Use any -current build from i386 or amd64 architecture. All tools and modules should be built by default, now. There are 2 modules used for ZFS solaris.kmod and zfs.kmod. Solaris module provides solaris like interfaces to zfs on NetBSD. The second module is zfs and provides zfs file system functions.
+
 ## Configuration
 
+User need to
+
+ modload solaris
+ modload zfs
+
+After loading modules user can create zpool(zfs version of volume manager) and manage zfs file systems on it. 
+
+zpool create {zpool name} {type} {device} 
+
+where type is:
+
+* mirror
+* raidz
+* raidz2
+* default is normal linear allocation
+
+device is blod device on netbsd /dev/sd0a for example.
+
+zpool create tank mirror /dev/sd0a /dev/sd1a  creates mirrored zpool between 2 disk partitions.
+
+With zpool created we can create zfs filesystems or zvols(zfs logical volume disks)
+
+zfs create -V {size} tank/{zvol name} creates zvol with {zvol name} from ZPOOL called tank
+
+Logical disk is created in 
+
+/dev/zvol/rdsk/{zpool name}/{zvol name} 
+/dev/zvol/dsk/{zpool name}/{zvol name}
+
+zfs create tank/{zfs name} create zfs filesystem on a zpool called tank 
+
