[OmniOS-discuss] Preconfigured distributable OmniOS NAS with mirrorred USB sticks

[alka]

I uploaded a first trial version of my 'napp-it to go' ZFS Server + OmniOS newest bloody for HP Microserver.
(incl. LZ4 Compression- the new ZFS Highlight):

- download USB cloner, readme and USB Image  (16 GB, can take some time)
- Clone image to a fast 16 GB USB Stick 

- Boot it, use it (ready to use with Web-UI)
