The user-guide contains all the information on how to switch the storage plugin: http://docs.linbit.com/docs/users-guide-9.0/#s-drbdmanage-storage-plugins But this is something you have to decide before you deploy your first resource. Aaand with 0.99.10 the zfs plugin will change to avoid unnecessary snapshots. Likely in an incompatible way. I usually really try to avoid that, but I guess that is what it will be, let's see. It would only affect people using zfs and snapshots. Like Openstack/Opennebula.

We are a small team and we have to prioritize projects, but it looks like there will be some development work in that direction in the near future. Regards, rck
