how to use a zfs volume?

Post by crest »

Hello,
maybe a simple/stupid (?) question - how can one mount/use a zfs volume via the webgui. Searched at the forums/web and didn't find a solution. Shouldn't it be possible to format and set a mountpoint for a zfs volume via the webgui?

Thanks in advance

Usually ZFS volume is used as RAW device witch cannot be mounted.
iSCSI device, HAST device and VM storage is a common use case.
If you think create filesystem on it, here is an example:

NAS4Free 10.2.0.2.2115 (x64-embedded), 10.2.0.2.2258 (arm), 10.2.0.2.2258(dom0)
GIGABYTE 5YASV-RH, Celeron E3400 (Dual 2.6GHz), ECC 8GB, Intel ET/CT/82566DM (on-board), ZFS mirror (2TBx2)
ASRock E350M1/USB3, 16GB, Realtek 8111E (on-board), ZFS mirror (2TBx2)
MSI MS-9666, Core i7-860(Quad 2.8GHz/HT), 32GB, Mellanox ConnectX-2 EN/Intel 82578DM (on-board), ZFS mirror (3TBx2+L2ARC/ZIL:SSD128GB)

Thank you for the fast response, I tried your description and it worked without problems. I just wondered If it's possible to perform these steps from inside the WebGUI
