Brian Behlendorf 34bc5537e5 Add quick build instructions
Full update to date build information will stay on the wiki for
now, but there is no harm in adding the bare bones instructions
to the README.  They shouldn't change and are a reasonable
quick start.

Native ZFS for Linux! ZFS is an advanced file system and volume manager which was originally developed for Solaris. It has been successfully ported to FreeBSD and now there is a functional Linux ZFS kernel port too. The port currently includes a fully functional and stable SPA, DMU, and ZVOL with a ZFS Posix Layer (ZPL) on the way!

To build packages for your distribution, first build and install the SPL packages http://wiki.github.com/behlendorf/spl/ then:

$ ./configure $ make pkg

Full documentation for building, configuring, and using ZFS can be found at: http://wiki.github.com/behlendorf/zfs/
