Snapshots can be renamed using the zfs rename command. Zfs destroy we list our snapshots again ( zfs list -t snapshot), the deleted one will no longer appear. You must delete all snapshots originating from a dataset before deleting it.įor example, to delete our snapshot from earlier, we specify it’s name in the zfs destroy command: SSD Metadata Filesystem metadata can be stored on SSDs for faster performance while large data files can be stored on HDDs for a hybrid storage approach to lower costs.You may not delete a dataset that has had snapshots made from it.

NFSV4 ACLs mimic the functions of Windows ACLs and are more fine-grained than simple POSIX ACLs. ZFS includes a configurable recordsize, ranging from 4KB to 1MB NSFv4 ACLs NFSV4 ACLS are powerful enterprise-grade control capabilities for sharing data between users and groups in a file system. Databases prefer small stripe sizes, whereas video files are better handled with large stripe sizes. Stripesize Control Stripesize control enables files to be efficiently laid-out across many drive groups. Only the changed data between snapshots is sent to the backup system. Async Replication Async replication is a technique for efficiently replicating data to another system for back-up. This gives the file system the ability to automatically recover from drive errors and failures without loss of data or corruption of data. Self-healing Self-healing data protection is built-in natively to TrueNAS and ZFS.
ZFS eliminates the need for these checks and the negative performance impacts they have. FSCK elimination FSCK, also known as File Systems Checks, are time-intensive processes to verify that checkfile system metadata is OK. This enables efficient snapshots and avoids data corruption during power failures. Copy on Write Copy-on-write is a technique used to avoid modifying existing data and instead write new data to a different location. A “Level 2 Adaptive Replacement Cache” (L2ARC) can be added as a second caching layer to accelerate reads by dynamically filling and flushing additional hot data that cannot fit into RAM. L2ARC With ZFS, the hottest data is cached and read from system RAM. It maximizes ZIL performance by aggregating random writes into sequential writes, thereby accelerating write performance and ensuring data integrity during power failure or failover events. ZIL/SLOG A “Separate intent log” (SLOG) is a high speed write cache device for storing the “ZFS intent log” (ZIL). Each snapshot can preserve archival data, be replicated to another system, or be used to rollback after a bad event such as malware or ransomware attack. Snapshot A point-in-time, read-only, copy of a file system or volume that does not get changed when new data is written. ZVOL ZVOLs are datasets that represent block devices Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (ISCSI) and Fibre Channel (FC). Each dataset can be snapshotted, cloned, and configured for any use case and have child datasets with their own distinct properties. Dataset A virtual filesystem without the restrictions of a fixed-size partition. It is continuously used for the detection and repair of data corruption via a “scrub” process. Checksum A Checksum is an additional integrity check on data that is written separately from the data. If a drive fails, the data can be rebuilt (“resilvered”) to a spare drive to prevent data loss. RAIDZ can use either single (Z1), dual (Z2), or triple (Z3) parity for data protection. RAIDz RAIDZ Combines disk drives and data storage devices into a single virtual storage device. A vdev has many configurations including: single disk, stripe, RAIDZ1, RAIDZ2, RAIDZ3, or mirror. ZFS vdev A vdev is a top-level RAID “virtual device” compromising one or more drives. ZFS is Enterprise-grade and highly scalable, requiring new concepts and terminology to differentiate its practices from standard filesystems:
