Thank Heaven for the people on this site.
I understand this Zevo release is an enthusiast's product. I know many "enthusiasts" whose second format would have been back to JHFS+. I'd like to keep them "in the pool", so to speak. To help accomplish this, Has anyone seen a comprehensive "best practices" list of Terminal commands, with the proper flags and options (and perhaps a short discussion of the various settings) for the most common usages? I prefer not to have people tell me that "everything I need is on this site" or other such nonsense. When we were just starting out, I doubt any of us knew all the questions for which we'd be seeking answers.
As I have worked with Zevo, I've developed the following commands, and I have no ego in their presentation here. If anyone has better, I welcome input.
For example...
Single Disk
- Code: Select all
$ zpool create example /dev/diskx -f -o ashift=12 -O casesensitivity=insensitive -O normalization=formD
RAIDz
- Code: Select all
$ zpool create -f -o ashift=12 -O casesensitivity=insensitive -O normalization=formD -O compression=on NAME raidz /dev/disk0 /dev/disk1 /dev/disk2
Since I'm writing this on my iPad, I'm not sure if these are my production commands. My thought is to create a two or three page document to allow enthusiasts to hit the ground running with a minimum of frustration and reformatting.
I see this document would containing the most utilized scenarios:
- Single disk
- Mirror of n drives
- RAIDz of n drives
- Stripe of n drives
- Stripe of mirrors/Mirror of stripes
