===== Proxmox ZFS =====

From https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/ZFS_on_Linux

==== ZFS modes ====

=== RAID0 ===

Also called “striping”. The capacity of such volume is the sum of the capacities of all disks. But RAID0 does not add any redundancy, so the failure of a single drive makes the volume unusable.

=== RAID1 ===

Also called “mirroring”. Data is written identically to all disks. This mode requires at least 2 disks with the same size. The resulting capacity is that of a single disk.

=== RAID10 ===

A combination of RAID0 and RAID1. Requires at least 4 disks.

=== RAIDZ-1 ===

A variation on RAID-5, single parity. Requires at least 3 disks.

=== RAIDZ-2 ===

A variation on RAID-5, double parity. Requires at least 4 disks.

=== RAIDZ-3 ===

A variation on RAID-5, triple parity. Requires at least 5 disks. 

==== The PVE installer ====

  * automatically partitions the disks,
  * creates a ZFS pool called rpool,
  * installs the root file system on the ZFS subvolume rpool/ROOT/pve-1
  * creates another subvolume called rpool/data to store VM images

**RQ :** It is not possible to use ZFS as root file system with UEFI boot.
**RQ :** Always use GPT partition tables.
**RQ :** ashift = 12 sets 4k blocks IOs with the disks
**RQ :** DO NOT use SWAP over ZFS !

<code bash>
man zpool
man zfs
vi /etc/sysctl.conf # vm.swappiness = 10
apt-get install zfs-zed # mail notification
vi /etc/zfs/zed.d/zed.rc # change ZED_EMAIL_ADDR="root" if needed
</code>
==== Log and cache to SSD with existant zfs pool ====

  * GPT partition table on the SSD device :
    * log : memory size / 1.8 (the maximum size of a log device should be about half the size of physical memory)
    * cache : the rest
  * add (add log/cache SSD disk) : zpool add -f <pool> log <device-part1> cache <device-part2>
  * replace (replace failing SSD disk) : zpool replace -f <pool> <old device> <new-device>

==== Tuning ====

  vi /etc/modprobe.d/zfs.conf # change "options zfs zfs_arc_max=" to memory size / 2 at most, and 8 Go + FS size in TB * 1 GB at min ; ex : 8589934592 for 8GB RAM usage

if ZFS is root FS, do : ''update-initramfs -u''


==== Notes ====

A dataset is a filesystme over a ZFS pool.
A ZVOL is a virtual logic volume.
Proxmox stores VM disks over a ZVOL and contener's disk over a dataset.
