zpool

Manage ZFS pools.

• Show the configuration and status of all ZFS zpools:

zpool status

• Check a ZFS pool for errors (verifies the checksum of EVERY block). Very CPU and disk intensive:

zpool scrub {pool_name}

• List zpools available for import:

zpool import

• Import a zpool:

zpool import {pool_name}

• Export a zpool (unmount all filesystems):

zpool export {pool_name}

• Show the history of all pool operations:

zpool history {pool_name}

• Create a mirrored pool:

zpool create {pool_name} mirror {disk1} {disk2} mirror {disk3} {disk4}

• Add a cache (L2ARC) device to a zpool:

zpool add {pool_name} cache {cache_disk}
