Notes on ZFS quotas, reservations and others.. like adding up disk for the pool and creating pool altogether.

First, create a pool using ‘zpool‘. Then use ‘zfs‘ to make the filesystems.

Creating Pool with zpool

Create a pool called pool1. The -m is optional. If given, it specifies a mount point for zfs filesystems created from the specified pool. The mount point should be empty or nonexistant. If the -m argument is omitted, mount point is “/”.


# zpool create -m /export/data01 ALB mirror c2t0d0 c4t0d0
# zpool status
pool: pool1
state: ONLINE
scrub: none requested
config:

NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
pool1 ONLINE 0 0 0
mirror ONLINE 0 0 0
c2t0d0 ONLINE 0 0 0
c4t0d0 ONLINE 0 0 0
