Download or read book Introducing ZFS on Linux written by Damian Wojsław and published by Apress. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn the basics of do-it-yourself ZFS storage on Linux. This book delivers explanations of key features and provides best practices for planning, creating and sharing your storage. ZFS as a file system simplifies many aspects of the storage administrator's day-to-day job and solves a lot of problems that administrators face, but it can be confusing. Introducing ZFS on Linux addresses some of these issues and shows you how to resolve them. This book explains the technical side of ZFS, through planning the hardware list to planning the physical and logical layout of the storage. What You'll Learn Understand the gains ZFS gives system and storage administrators and utilize its features Install and configure ZFS software Create and maintain ZFS pool Administer ZFS storage, including sharing Who This Book is For This book is ideal for those who already have experience working with Linux systems but want to understand the bare basics of ZFS before moving further.
Download or read book Solaris 10 ZFS Essentials written by Scott Watanabe and published by Pearson Education. This book was released on 2010 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ZFS file system offers a dramatic advance in data management with an innovative approach to data integrity, tremendous performance improvements, and a welcome integration of file system and volume management capabilities. The centerpiece of this new architecture is the concept of a virtual storage pool, which decouples the file system from physical storage in the same way that virtual memory abstracts the address space from physical memory, allowing for much more efficient use of storage devices. In ZFS, space is shared dynamically between multiple file systems from a single storage pool and is parceled out from the pool as file systems request it. Physical storage can therefore be added to storage pools dynamically, without interrupting services. This provides new levels of flexibility, availability, and performance. Because ZFS is a 128-bit file system, its theoretical limits are truly mind-boggling-2128 bytes of storage and 264 for everything else, including file systems, snapshots, directory entries, devices, and more. Solaris (tm) 10 ZFS Essentials is the perfect guide for learning how to deploy and manage ZFS file systems. If you are new to Solaris or are using ZFS for the first time, you will find it very easy to get ZFS up and running on your home system or your business IT infrastructure by following the simple instructions in this book. Then you too will understand all the benefits ZFS offers: Rock-solid data integrity No silent data corruption-ever Mind-boggling scalability Breathtaking speed Near-zero administration Solaris (tm) 10 ZFS Essentials is part of the Solaris System Administration Series and is intended for use as a full introduction and hands-on guide to Solaris ZFS.
