Hi! > How should I label and prepare the drives for ZFS? Someone ought to write a ???cookbook??? on that!

I think the default is now 4096 anyway. https://charsiurice.wordpress.com/2016/05/30/checking-ashift-on-existing-pools/ describes the command to check for 4096 blocks: zdb -C | grep ashift If it displays ashift: 9 the blocks are 512 bytes. If it displays ashift: 12 the block size is 4096. -- pi_at_opsec.eu +49 171 3101372 Now what ?Received on Tue Jan 12 2021 - 17:35:14 UTC
