Comment on ZFS on different sized disks by Graham Booker

ZFS is perfectly happy to work in partitions. I think that whole disk has a slight optimization and ZFS can operate without a partition unlike many other FSs.

This is a clever config, but doesn’t ZFS prefer direct access to the disk over partitions? That’s how I understand the documentation.
I am considering a similar partition scheme, but with ext4 or btrfs.

Francois, there are many routes for attaching an encrypted volume after reboot and so I’d suggest you Google search those. Obviously, a fully automated manner without user interaction completely defeats the point of using encryption, so you’d be looking at manually doing something to mount the encrypted volume after each boot.

Hello,
How would you do “Here the second for loop needs to be executed on each reboot.” before the ZFS mountpoints get automatically mounted?

Regards

Frederic, correct, you don’t need the jumper. In fact, setting the jumper when you are using an entire disk for ZFS will be detrimental to performance.

If you are going the unencrypted route, I’d suggest one modification to what wrote here originally. See the update I added after seeing your comment.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for this useful information! I’ll be trying it out with FreeNAS 8.2.0. If I understand correctly, I would have to put NO jumper on the drives?

Luigi, I just don’t have the time, even if paid. I have a full-time job and that reduces the utility of the money that could be obtained from paid side-project. I’ve also moved away from playing media files on the mac towards devices which are better designed for such a purpose, so my utility of Perian has been reduced as of late.
