Basically, what I once did, was this: zpool create bck raidz2 ada2 ada3 ada4 ada5 ada6 ada7 ada8 ada9 Therefore: raw disks, nothing else. > Do I need to start the volume on a particular sector boundary? > > Are the 4096 byte sector drives usable? 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. -- p...@opsec.eu +49 171 3101372 Now what ? _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
