ZFS is an advanced file system that provides powerful data management and protection functions, including snapshots, data integrity verification, software RAID, etc. Installing and using ZFS on Ubuntu is very simple, and this article will provide you with detailed steps and corresponding source code.
Step 1: Install the ZFS support package
First, we need to install the ZFS support package. Execute the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt install zfsutils-linux
Step 2: Create a ZFS storage pool
Next, we will create a ZFS storage pool to store our data. Execute the following command in the terminal:
sudo zpool create poolname /dev/sdx
Replace "poolname" with your desired storage pool name and "/dev/sdx" is the physical disk you want to use as your storage pool. You can add as many disks as needed.
Step 3: Create ZFS file system
Once the storage pool is successfully created, we can create a ZFS file system in it. Execute the following command in the terminal:
sudo zfs create poolname/filesystem
Replace "poolname" with the name of your storage pool and "filesystem" with the name of the file system you want to create.
