Debian: How to install, configure and manage ZFS

By root, 8 December, 2014

Before starting, I have to mention this tutorial is not about ZFS Fuse which comes by default with Debian. This is the real deal, the native ZFS for Linux, without fuse support. In theory should be faster and more reliable and according to my tests so far, it is amazing!

First of all, install ZFS:

UPDATE: ZFS packages are included in debian repository. So all you have to do now is:

apt update
apt install dpkg-dev linux-headers-$(uname -r) linux-image-amd64
apt install zfs-dkms zfsutils-linux

Details here: https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Getting%20Started/Debian/index.h…
Moved the wheezy installation instructions at the end of this document.

PS: For Ubuntu, you have to do this:
# apt-add-repository --yes ppa:zfs-native/stable
# aptitude install debootstrap spl-dkms zfs-dkms ubuntu-zfs

Example:

root@ibm:~# apt-add-repository --yes ppa:zfs-native/stable
gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmp74YZpk/secring.gpg' created
gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmp74YZpk/pubring.gpg' created
gpg: requesting key F6B0FC61 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpg: /tmp/tmp74YZpk/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created
gpg: key F6B0FC61: public key "Launchpad PPA for Native ZFS for Linux" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1  (RSA: 1)
OK
root@ibm:~# aptitude update
[...useless output removed...]
root@ibm:~# aptitude install debootstrap spl-dkms zfs-dkms ubuntu-zfs
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  debootstrap libnvpair1{a} libuutil1{a} libzfs2{a} libzpool2{a} spl{a} spl-dkms ubuntu-zfs zfs-dkms 
  zfsutils 
The following packages will be upgraded:
  mountall 
1 packages upgraded, 10 newly installed, 0 to remove and 592 not upgraded.
Need to get 4,134 kB of archives. After unpacking 17.6 MB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] 
[....the output is similar with debian...]

Now you can play with it if you have spare disks:

Create a simple pool (no mirror or raid) and list it afterwards:

zpool create zfs /dev/datavg/zfslv
zpool list
Example:
root@eave:~# zpool create zfs /dev/datavg/zfslv
root@eave:~# zpool list
NAME   SIZE  ALLOC   FREE    CAP  DEDUP  HEALTH  ALTROOT
zfs   4.97G    90K  4.97G     0%  1.00x  ONLINE  -
root@eave:~# zpool status
  pool: zfs
 state: ONLINE
  scan: none requested
config:

	NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
	zfs         ONLINE       0     0     0
	  zfslv     ONLINE       0     0     0

The moment you create a pool, an zfs filesystem will be created also so you can list it also like this (the mount point will be the name of the pool):

root@eave:~# zfs list
NAME   USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
zfs    106K  4.89G    29K  /zfs

If you want to delete the zfs pool, you can do it with the following command:

root@eave:~# zpool destroy zfs
root@eave:~# zpool list
no pools available

To enable compression to your zfs pool and list it, do the following:

root@eave:~# zfs set compression=lz4 zfs
root@eave:~# zfs get compressratio zfs
NAME  PROPERTY       VALUE  SOURCE
zfs   compressratio  1.00x  -
Compression test:
root@eave:/zfs# tar -cf test.tar /var/log/
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
root@eave:/zfs# ls -la
total 10116
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root        3 Dec  1 23:11 .
drwxr-xr-x 26 root root      664 Dec  1 23:06 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 31672320 Dec  1 23:11 test.tar
root@eave:/zfs# zfs get compressratio zfs
NAME  PROPERTY       VALUE  SOURCE
zfs   compressratio  3.05x  -

root@eave:/zfs# cp test.tar /tmp
root@eave:/zfs# du -sh test.tar 
9.9M	test.tar
root@eave:/zfs# du -sh /tmp/test.tar 
31M	/tmp/test.tar

How to create a mirror zfs pool:

 zpool create backups mirror oglebkp-part1 sunbkp-part1
Example:
root@pluto:~# zpool create backups mirror oglebkp-part1 sunbkp-part1
root@pluto:~# zpool list
NAME      SIZE  ALLOC   FREE    CAP  DEDUP  HEALTH  ALTROOT
backups  99.5G  92.5K  99.5G     0%  1.00x  ONLINE  -

root@pluto:~# df -h /backups
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
backups          98G     0   98G   0% /backups

If one of your disk was gone form the pool and is back now, you can do the following:

zpool clear backups
Example:
root@pluto:~# zpool status backups
  pool: backups
 state: DEGRADED
status: One or more devices are faulted in response to persistent errors.
	Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue functioning in a
	degraded state.
action: Replace the faulted device, or use 'zpool clear' to mark the device
	repaired.
  scan: none requested
config:

	NAME               STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
	backups            DEGRADED     0     0     0
	  mirror-0         DEGRADED     0     0     0
	    oglebkp-part1  FAULTED      0     0     0  too many errors
	    sunbkp-part1   ONLINE       0     0     0

errors: No known data errors
root@pluto:~# zpool clear backups
root@pluto:~# zpool status backups
  pool: backups
 state: ONLINE
  scan: none requested
config:

	NAME               STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
	backups            ONLINE       0     0     0
	  mirror-0         ONLINE       0     0     0
	    oglebkp-part1  ONLINE       0     0     0
	    sunbkp-part1   ONLINE       0     0     0

errors: No known data errors

How to replace a disk in a zfs pool:

zpool replace rex sdb sdx

How to check the history of events in a zfs pool:

root@pluto:~# zpool history backups
History for 'backups':
2014-12-07.22:03:38 zpool create backups mirror oglebkp-part1 sunbkp-part1
2014-12-07.22:06:33 zfs set compression=lz4 backups
2014-12-07.22:58:20 zpool clear backups
2014-12-08.09:09:13 zpool scrub backups

How to scrub a zfs pool:

The simplest way to check your data integrity is to initiate an explicit scrubbing of all data within the pool. This operation traverses all the data in the pool once and verifies that all blocks can be read. Scrubbing proceeds as fast as the devices allow, though the priority of any I/O remains below that of normal operations. This operation might negatively impact performance, though the file system should remain usable and nearly as responsive while the scrubbing occurs.
root@pluto:~# zpool scrub backups
root@pluto:~# zpool status backups

  scan: scrub in progress since Mon Dec  8 09:09:04 2014

root@pluto:~# zpool offline backups sdx
root@pluto:~# zpool online backups sdx

How to enable ZFS deduplication and see it's magic:

The basic concept is that when data is written to a ZFS filesystem with dedup turned on, ZFS only stored blocks that are unique within the ZFS pool, rather than storing redundant copies of identical data. See Jeff Bonwick's blog for more information on concepts and implementation.
root@pluto:~# zpool list

You will have to verify if dedup is needed for you because it consumes a lot of memory and sometimes it is not necessary. For example, after you have all your files in place, you can do the following command and see. If the deduplication ratio is less than 2, enabling dedup is not recommended.
In my example below, it is not recommended:
root@pluto:/backups/test# zdb -S backups

How to resize (set quota) a zfs filesystem:

root@uranus:/var/cache# zfs list
NAME           USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
data           150K  49.0G    31K  /data
data/fscache    30K  49.0G    30K  /data/fscache
root@uranus:/var/cache# [color=green]zfs set quota=20G data/fscache[/color]
root@uranus:/var/cache# zfs list
NAME           USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
data           150K  49.0G    31K  /data
data/fscache    30K  20.0G    30K  /data/fscache

How to speedup zfs on linux:

ZFS on Linux stores xattrs in a hidden folder, as regular files! This is very slow, requiring multiple seeks per xattr, and it doesn't appear to cache very well either.
The fix is to store the data in the inodes, which will boost up the speed too:

# zfs set xattr=sa (pool)

How to create zfs volume with different mount point:

# zfs create -o atime=off -o mountpoint=/var/spool/squid3 cache/squid

How to modify zfs mount point or remove the mount point of a zfs:

You have to modfy the mountpoint value to the desired mount point or to none to remove it.

# zfs set mountpoint=none zfs_device

Example:

root@ibm:~# df -h | grep ibm
ibm                      196G     0  196G   0% /ibm
root@ibm:~# zfs get mountpoint ibm
NAME  PROPERTY    VALUE       SOURCE
ibm   mountpoint  /ibm        default
root@ibm:~# [color=green]zfs set mountpoint=none ibm[/color]
root@ibm:~# zfs get mountpoint ibm
NAME  PROPERTY    VALUE       SOURCE
ibm   mountpoint  none        local
root@ibm:~# zfs list
NAME   USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
ibm    120K   196G    30K  none
root@ibm:~# df -h | grep ibm
root@ibm:~# 
root@ibm:~# [color=green]zfs set mountpoint=/bah ibm[/color]
root@ibm:~# zfs list
NAME   USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
ibm    120K   196G    30K  /bah
root@ibm:~# df -h | grep bah
ibm                      196G     0  196G   0% /bah
