had an issues debugging the use of minio, the error I had (but only noticed by removing -f from the startup script) "FATA[0000] Initializing object layer failed cause=Unable to initialize '.minio.sys' meta volume, mkdir /data/objectStore/.minio.sys/tmp/e7172e6c-491e-4795-9d52-7989a5b3bb48: permission denied source=[server-main.go:587:serverMain()]" This is caused because the user minio did not have permission to access the zfs dataset, not minio problem, but the errors were hidden and /var/log/minio.log did not exist. just pointing this out as on the surface it looked like minio was not working as all info was being sent to /dev/null by daemon.
