READ FIRST

Some considerations when working with ZFS

  • ZFS uses vdevs and not physical disks.
  • Be careful about how you add new disks to the array. No random adding and removing of disks (exception being when upgrading disks or a disk fails)
  • ZFS is very powerful, be mindful of what you are going to do and plan it out!
  • After a vdev is created, it can never be removed and you can not add into it.

Example: 

NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
	pool4tb     ONLINE       0     0     0
	  raidz1-0  ONLINE       0     0     0
	    sdb     ONLINE       0     0     0
	    sdd     ONLINE       0     0     0

radz1-0 is a vdev. To add more disks (other than hotspares) you must create a second vdev. In this case we are running two mirrored drives so it would be best to add a second pair of mirrored drives. 

NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
	pool4tb     ONLINE       0     0     0
	  raidz1-0  ONLINE       0     0     0
	    sdb     ONLINE       0     0     0
	    sdd     ONLINE       0     0     0
	  raidz1-1  ONLINE       0     0     0
	    sde     ONLINE       0     0     0
	    sdf     ONLINE       0     0     0

Now data will be striped across both vdevs.

ZFS on Linux Installation

CentOS 7

It has been reported that when installing zfs and it's dependencies at the same time, the kernel modules will not get created. Below are the current steps I found to work when installing ZFS. 

yum -y install epel-release

Make sure the system is completely up to date. 

yum -y update
reboot -h

After reboot 

yum -y install kernel-devel
yum -y localinstall --nogpgcheck http://archive.zfsonlinux.org/epel/zfs-release.el7.noarch.rpm
yum -y install spl

If everything was done right, the following command will take a while (depending on hardware) 

yum -y install zfs-dkms
yum -y install zfs
/sbin/modprobe zfs

Fedora 28

[1]The instructions from the zfsonlinux.org site are correct, except for enabling the repo before installing. Even issuing the "dnf --set-enable zfs.repo" would result in failure. Had to edit the repo file directly (/etc/yum.repos.d/zfs.repo) to enable. Not a big deal, but something good to know.

Create ZFS Pool

At this point you can create your pool. Most of the time we will be interested in a ZRAID configuration. Depending on how much parity your interested user raidz, raidz1, raidz2, or raidz3. 

zpool create <name of pool> raidz <disk1> <disk2> <etc>

NOTE: By default this will create a mount point of "/<name of pool>"

To add a spare drive 

zpool add <name of pool> spare <disk>

Make sure to enable automatic rebuild when a drive fails, especially when using hot spares. 

zpool autoreplace=on <name of pool>



I ran into the following that would help with managing the disks. Creating a label for each disk would have saved me time in the past[2] 

# glabel label rex1 ada0
# glabel label rex2 ada1
# glabel label rex3 ada2
# zpool create rex raidz1 label/rex1 label/rex2 label/rex3

Create ZFS Volumes

zfs create <name of pool>/<Volume Name>
zfs set mountpoint=<mount point>

Example: 

zfs create pool4tb/archive
mkdir /archive
zfs set mountpoint=/archive pool4tb/archive

Additional Options

To enable compression 

zfs set compression=lz4 <name of pool>

To increase the number of copies of a file on a dataset 

zfs set copies=<1,2,3>

To have the pool auto-expand 

zpool set autoexpand=on <name of pool>
  • Encryption

EXAMPLE

1x2TB HDD sdb
4x1TB HDDs sdc sdd sde sdf

Using the above drives it is possible to create a variety of deployments. In this example we will create a RAID5 like configuration that spans across three 2TB devices.


We start by creating a pools and adding the drives.
[root@nas ~]# zpool create -f set1 raidz /dev/sdc /dev/sdd
[root@nas ~]# zpool create -f set2 raidz /dev/sde /dev/sdf
[root@nas ~]# zpool status

          raidz1-0  ONLINE       0     0     0
            sdc     ONLINE       0     0     0
            sdd     ONLINE       0     0     0

  pool: set2

  scan: none requested

          raidz1-0  ONLINE       0     0     0
            sde     ONLINE       0     0     0

data            2.9T  256K  2.9T   1% /data

As you can see there is a LOT of wasted space using this method. Where we should have ~4TB of usable space we end with ~3TB. This was only an example, the better option is to create multiple independent data sets.

ZFS Send

Example of using ZFS send to replicate snapshots from a local pool to a local external drive. 

nohup zfs send -R tank/datastore@auto-20180629.0000-2w | zfs recv -F backuppool/backup &

Incremental [3] 

zfs send -R -i tank/datastore@auto-20180630.0000-2w tank/datastore@auto-20180701.0000-2w | zfs recv -F backuppool/backup

ssh[4] 

nohup zfs send tank/datastore@auto-20180629.0000-2w | ssh root@somehost 'zfs receive backuppool/datastore@auto-20180629.0000-2w'

Troubleshooting

Auto import pool at boot

[5]There is a cache file that is used for mounting ZFS at boot. Make sure to run the following if ZFS is not importing on boot. 

[root@nas ~]# systemctl enable zfs-import-cache.service

Kernel Module Failure After Upgrade

I ran the standard yum upgrade process on my home CentOS 7 server. After a reboot ZFS failed stating the module was not loaded and I should load it. However, modprobe would fail. 

[root@nas ~]# modprobe zfs
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'zfs': Invalid argument

Checking dmesg 

[root@nas ~]#  grep zfs /var/log/dmesg*

I found a post about this[6], and it mentioned to check the dkms status. Below is what I found.

Set Hot Spare as replacement device

I had an issue where I created a raidz2 pool without spares (which is fine for this deployment). A drive failed, and I installed a replacement as a spare using the FreeNAS gui (this one was not ZFSoL). I was then stuck with a perpetually degraded pool. 

  pool: tank

	Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue functioning in a
	degraded state.

But if I would RTFM[7] I would know to detach the failed drive that I previously made offline.

ZFS Not Mounting After Reboot

For some reason my system stopped mounting my ZFS volumes at boot. For a year I would manually mount as needed (a reboot was rare). But now I found the issue[8] 

systemctl enable zfs-import.target

FreeNAS Specific

Replace drive using CLI

Recently I installed a FreeNAS server as part of a consulting gig, but the refurbished drives that came with the server started to fail and needed replacement. I had to do this remotely without the GUI due to limited VPN connectivity, which posed an issue with gaining the gptid of the replacement drive. Up until now I have relied on the GUI to provision the gptid and import the disk. My previous examples also show that I normally use the entire disk instead of using partitions on the disk.

The following is what I did to obtain a gptid for the drive.[9]

  • First I obtained the drive information. Had a local tech provide me the SN.
  • Ran a script I wrote to pull SN from drives listed in /dev to obtain the correct device (/dev/da13)
  • At this point I created the gpt partion on the disk using the steps from the reference above.
gpart create -s gpt da13
gpart add -t freebsd-ufs da13
  • Then I checked to see if the disk showed up with a label.
glabel list | grep da13
  • At which point I could found the label in the full list
glabel list
  • Then started the replacement of the failed disk that I previously took offline.

Innodisk 3MG2-P (FreeNAS L2ARC)

This is the official FreeNAS L2ARC SSD sold on Amazon by ixSystems. Please note that this was not intended to be a ZIL disk, but I had it on hand so why not test it?

Intel 730 DC

The key here is that though this SSD has a slower interface, it doesn't matter because the throughput on small file writes is so high.

Benchmarks

This is a simple test. I have a Windows 10 VM, starting from the login screen I reboot the VM and time it using a stop watch.
Environment

  • 10Gb between esxi and FreeNAS
  • NFS
  • 3 x raidz-2 vdevs with 6 1TB 7200rpm HDDs each.
  • 362GB RAM on FreeNAS. The entire VM disk should be cached, making this a write only test.
