Solved Creating /home on different pool

M

Greetings all,

I did not create user during installation with the intention to create user's home directory on a separate mirror pool.

After the installation and creation of the new mirror pool storage, # zfs list reports:

storage . . . . /storage
zroot . . . . . /zroot
.
.
zroot/home . . /home

I have created a new dataset zfs create -o atime=off -o compression=lz4 storage/home and then added user on the dataset which resulted in additional dataset storage/home/user mounted on /storage/home/user.

I am concerned about the two instances of home one from zroot/home the other from storage/home.

Should I destroy the zroot/home dataset and mount the storage/home on /home? Will it not create a problem during creating a new boot environment, upgrading to a different version, or other circumstances?

Kindest regards,

M
 
I had the same concern, I installed FreeBSD on 1 disk but then I added a vdev mir and moved home in this other pool, I used syncoid to replicate the data in the new pool:

freezr

Hi guys, this week-end I am very active, I apology for making so many questions... 🙏

I am reinstalling again FreeBSD after a critical disaster, eventually I went for this topology:

System 1 NVME single stripe (no redundancy)
Home 2 SSD Mirror

Next I need to create the ZFS mirror, I am still unsure how to prepare the disks, however this is the current zfs data sets:

Code: 
# zfs list
NAME                 USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
zroot               10.5G   207G    96K  /zroot
zroot/ROOT          8.52G   207G    96K  none
zroot/ROOT/default  8.52G   207G  8.52G  /
zroot/home...
 
I followed the guide from the link because I want to clone the current home in the new pool.

Then I had to unmount the zroot/home as single-user and I mounted the new pool as /zhome/home.
