Continuing from part 5, we’ll learn about ZFS snapshots and ZFS clones in this post:
In last post, we created a ZFS data set ‘myPool/myData’. Let’s see how we can backup and restore data using ZFS snapshots and ZFS clones.
1. ZFS snapshot is a point-in-time checkpoint of a dataset. ZFS snapshot is read-only and cannot be modified. You can create a ZFS snapshot of a ZFS data...
Installing And Using ZFS In Linux Mint / Ubuntu – Part 5
Continuing from part 4, in today’s post we’ll learn how to create ZFS data set for a user and mount it to a directory for use:
1. Issue the following commands at the terminal to view zpool status and the available capacity –
sudo zpool status
sudo zfs list
2. Now, we’ll create a ZFS data set called ‘myData’ in ZFS pool ‘myPool’ and enable compression,...
