-However, this pool is not taking advantage of any ZFS features, so let's create a ZFS filesytem on this pool with compression enabled.  ZFS supports many compression algorithms: lzjb, gzip, zle, lz4.  LZ4 is often the most performant algorithm in terms of compression of data versus system overhead.

 ```
 
-#### Step 2.
+#### Start Minio service
-
+Install [Minio](https://minio.io) from FreeBSD port.
-Now start minio server on the ``/minio-example/compressed-objects``, change the permissions such that this directory is accessibly by a normal user
-
 ```sh
-chown -R minio-user:minio-user /minio-example/compressed-objects
+pkg install minio
 ```
 
-Now login as ``minio-user`` and start minio server.
+Enable minio and configure minio to use ZFS volume mounted at `/minio-example/compressed-objects`.
-
+```
-```sh
+sysrc minio_enable=yes
-curl https://dl.minio.io/server/minio/release/freebsd-amd64/minio > minio
+sysrc minio_disks=/minio-example/compressed-objects
-chmod 755 minio
-./minio server /minio-example/compressed-objects
 ```
 
-Point your browser to http://localhost:9000 and login with the credentials displayed on the command line.
+Start minio.
-
+```
-Now you have a S3 compatible server running on top of your ZFS backend which transparently provides disk level compression for your uploaded objects.
+service minio start

-Thanks for using Minio, awaiting feedback :-)

-#### Building Minio Server From Source
-
-It is possible to build the minio server from source on FreeBSD.  To do this we will used the golang distribution provided by the FreeBSD pkg infrastructure.
-
-We will need to install golang and GNU make:
-
-```sh
-sudo pkg install go gmake
 ```
-Now we can proceed with the normal build process of minio server as found [here](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md).  The only caveat is we need to specify gmake (GNU make) when building minio server as the current Makefile is not BSD make compatible:
 
+Now you have an Minio running on top of your ZFS backend which transparently provides disk level compression for your uploaded objects, please visit http://localhost:9000 to open Minio Browser.
 
-From here you can start the server as you would with a precompiled minio server build.
+#### Stop Minio service
+In-case you wish to stop Minio service.
+```sh
+service minio stop
+```
