#Openzfs centos 7 install

That way you can install as normal using EXT4 on one mirror, and create the root pool on the other. Note that it's easier if you are going to mirror root. Here are some links, (the first is not all that useful for someone familar with ZFS command line) Laptop - 500GB mSATA, 2 x 30GB partitions mirrored for root, remainder un-mirrored for general storage Remainder striped for my media, (wierd striping flash and spinner.) Media server - 1TB mSATA & 2TB spinner, have 24GB each for mirrored root.

Extra space on spinner is general storage, (it's un-mirrored). They are full root, plus additional space, in a different ZFS pool ĭesktop - 64GB SATA DOM mirrored to 500GB spinner, for root. I run ZFS on Linux with the Gentoo distribution. (Edit: though from the grub2 changelog, there don't appear to be any changes relevant to zfs between those two versions) grub2-2.02-0.65), and it's unclear what, if any, effect that would have on anything. One piece of uncertainty is that, while the write-ups I'm looking at are pretty recent, they're dealing with older versions (zfs 0.6.5 vs. And the apparent requirement (as noted on the page you linked to), when upgrading CentOS minor versions (e.g., 7.3 to 7.4), to remove the zfs packages, install an upgraded version of the ZoL repo, then reinstall those packages, sounds both disruptive and dangerous (seems like that would keep you from accessing your root pool). But if upgrades break things, that calculus could change. My gut thinks that just mounting a pool on /home, for example, would end up being more disruptive than just installing the whole system on ZFS. Well, it's not exactly that I want to do root-on-ZFS for the fun of it, but Neth (like SME, from which it was forked) really expects to run on a single filesystem.
