This guide provides instructions on configuring a RAID 1 setup using ZFS, along with additional storage-related details.
Ensure ZFS is installed on your system. For example, on Ubuntu:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install zfsutils-linux
List all available drives:
sudo fdisk -l
Identify the drives you want to use for the RAID 1 setup (e.g., /dev/sda and /dev/sdb).
Create a mirrored ZFS pool:
sudo zpool create mypool mirror /dev/sda /dev/sdb
Check the status of the ZFS pool:
sudo zpool status
Mount the ZFS pool to a directory:
sudo zfs set mountpoint=/mnt/mypool mypool
Ensure the ZFS pool mounts automatically at boot:
sudo zfs set canmount=on mypool
Regularly check the health of your ZFS pool:
sudo zpool scrub mypool
For more detailed information, refer to the ZFS documentation.
