This install procedure only works with *Armbian Focal* for now. Instructions for *Armbian Buster* to be added soon.
|
|
|
|
So you already installed the system on eMMC or SD? You might want to use ZFS on the hard disk(s)! We assume rootfs is already on eMMC (or microSD Card) and you want to store your data on HDDs in ZFS pool.
|
|
|
|
!!! Note
|
|
This wiki does not cover root-on-zfs. (Although it should be also possible.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## **Step 1** - Install ZFS
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo armbian-config
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Go to *Software* and install headers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once kernel headers installed, install ZFS with the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt install zfs-dkms zfsutils-linux
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Optional:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt install zfs-auto-snapshot
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Reboot.
|
|
|
|
## **Step 2** - Prepare partitions
|
|
|
|
Use `fdisk` of `gdisk` to create necessary partitions on your hard drive. This is beyond scope of this wiki.
|
|
When ready look for assigned uuids:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ls -l /dev/disk/by-partuuid/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## **Step 3** - Create ZFS pool
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo zpool create -o ashift=12 -m /mypool mypool mirror /dev/disk/by-partuuid/abc123 /dev/disk/by-partuuid/xyz789
|
|
sudo zfs set atime=off mypool
|
|
sudo zfs set compression=on mypool
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Of course you may use more disks and create raidz instead of mirror. Your choice. :-)
|
|
|
|
Note: Do not use `/dev/sdXY` names. Use uuids only. This way your system will still work when you remove a disk or change order of disks.
|
|
|
|
If your disks are SSDs, enable trim support:
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo zpool set autotrim=on mypool
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## **Step 4** - Reboot
|
|
|
|
After reboot make sure the pool was imported automatically:
|
|
```bash
|
|
zpool status
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should now have working system with root on eMMC and ZFS pool on HDD.
