Re: NetBSD ZFS basics?



When I wrote "netbsd specific" I mostly meant what to put in rc.conf. I wasn't able to figure that one out on my own. I had made some guesses on my own (based on what I found through google) but once I put in "zfs=YES" in rc.conf, my pools 'magically' appeared.

Thank you!

Hi

I'm playing with netbsd on virtualbox. Because NetBSD can't boot from
ZFS (for now) I have two disks; a small one for the system and a larger
one to put zfs and other things on.

I've figured out how to create and destroy pools and datasets; but I
haven't been able to figure out how to keep the mounts (datasets?)
between boots.
zfs=YES in rc.conf ?

I use it every day and have nothing else.

I've googled and most of the things I've read haven't really seemed to
apply, and seem to be from several years ago to boot.


Is there any tutorials or netbsd-specific pages I can read to get
started with?
I don't think there is a lot of ZFS NetBSD specific out there. I do
not have at present a decent setup to test ZFS the way it usually is
used in large storage appiances with many disks, vdevs and pools; I
have just one 32GB MSata device used for file systems and a 250GB disk
used for zvols, the latter either shared via iSCSI or used directly by
NVMM virtual machines. I do use occasionaly snapshots and have tested
send/receive, but that's all.


Thank you for your time
