[geeks] ZFS questions

[md.benson at gmail.com]

Hi,

I donbt know about specifics to the sparc platform as Ibve only used zfs
on a modern Linux environment but yes, it pretty much is that simple. Create a
pool with your chosen device(s) then create individual volumes (is it a
volume? I might be forgetting the terminology) to allocate different file tree
locations to that pool.

You can also modify zfs volume post creation to change itbs mount path, add
a quota, and many other neat things.

This is why so many people love zfs. Itbs incredibly simple to administrate,
and does all the heavy lifting for you behind the scenes.
