zvol

Most likely I'm missing something obvious, I thought this should be straight forward: # zfs create -V256G -o volmode=dev zroot/ubuntu # gpart create -s gpt /dev/zvol/zroot/ubuntu # gpart: arg0 'zvol/zroot/ubuntu': Invalid argument Then I used sysutils/gdisk, successfully created the...

Solved. Thank you guys. Couldn't have done it without your help.

Why would you encrypt a zfs zvol device with gbde ? Because you can, and it is easy. 1.You stay away from system,boot&root partitions so you don't have boot problems. 2.

Hello everyone Over the course of the last week I tried to install Veeam Endpoint Backup (or rather Veeam Agent for Windows) on a Windows Server 2016 bhyve VM. I let vm-bhyve auto-create a disk for the VM. After installing Windows and installing Veeam Agent for Windows, the SQL Service and the...

hey, I set this up last week it seems to work but whether it's actually a good idea or not ... in particular I wonder if I should have disabled the cache on the nested zpool rather than the parent zvol, and whether I actually need to unmount the nested zpool to snapshot and sync. It would be...
