I love what ZFS brings to the table. However, I don’t often have to interact with it, so when I do, I forget what needs to be done. The documentation works pretty well for me, but here are some notes that speeds things up (for me), as I hopefully don’t have to “start over” every time trying to find where to start digging.
Not all zpools appear
Supported solution seems to be apt install mountall
. If that still doesn’t work, here are some ideas:
zpool status
zpool list
zpool import # Lists pools available to import.
zpool import -a # imports and mounts the pool
zfs mount -a # if the above failed
zpool status
zpool history
Nifty stuff
zpool scrub
- The scrub examines all data in the specified pools to verify that it checksums correctly.zfs get all
- shows all properties for all filesystems (checksum, atime, mountpoint …)zfs set mountpoint=/dump dump
- does thatzdb
- low level toolzpool labelclear <device>
- Removes ZFS label information from the specified device.
