What file system is ZFS?

ZFS is a local file system and logical volume manager created by Sun Microsystems Inc. to direct and control the placement, storage and retrieval of data in enterprise-class computing systems. Deduplication – a process that eliminates redundant copies of data and reduces storage overhead.

What is ZFS scrubbing?

ZFS will automatically protect your data from “Bit rot”, something that can happen to ALL forms of storage. Every time ZFS reads a block, it compares it to it’s checksum, and automatically fixes it. Disk scrub will read all the VDEVs in the pool, therefor fixing any and all bit rot errors.

How do you destroy a ZFS pool?

Pools are destroyed by using the zpool destroy command. This command destroys the pool even if it contains mounted datasets. Be very careful when you destroy a pool. Ensure that you are destroying the right pool and you always have copies of your data.

How do I know what version of Zpool I have?

# zfs upgrade This system is currently running ZFS filesystem version 5. All filesystems are formatted with the current version. A list of available versions can be obtained using: # zpool upgrade -v This system is currently running ZFS pool version 29.

ZFS is an advanced file system that is capable of managing data that spans across devices. ZFS uses virtual storage pools, called zpools. A zpool can contain numerous directories and can provide redundancy for your data. I want to show you how to set up a ZFS mirror (RAID1) pool using two external disks.

What does zpool export do to a pool?

zpool export removes the entire pool from the system… snapshots and all. This isn’t what you want. To do what you are asking, the first step is to understand what kind of zpool we’re dealing with. In particular, you probably want a simple mirrored pool.

How to export and import ZFS storage pool?

A good demonstration of this is to grab some USB sticks, plug them in, and create a ZFS storage pool. Then export the pool, unplug the sticks, drop them into a hat, and mix them up. Then, plug them back in at any random order, and re-import the pool on a new box.

How are devices exported from one pool to another?

Exports the given pools from the system. All devices are marked as exported, but are still considered in use by other subsystems. The devices can be moved between systems (even those of different endianness) and imported as long as a sufficient number of devices are present.

What happens if you do not export a storage pool?

If you do not export the storage pool before removing the drives, you will not be able to import the drives on the new system, and you might not have gotten all unwritten data flushed to disk. Even though the data will remain consistent due to the nature of the filesystem, when importing, it will appear to the old system as a faulted pool.
