zfs - playing with various configs
If you dont have the disks available to build up a zpool and have a play with zfs you can actually just use files created with the mkfile command… The commands are exactly the same.
mkfile 64m disk1
mkfile 64m disk2
mkfile 64m disk3
mkfile 10m disk4
mkfile 100m disk5
mkfile 100m disk6
Now you can create a zpool using the above files… (i’m using raidz for this setup)
zpool create test raidz /fullpath/disk1 /fullpath/disk2 /fullpath/disk3
