## Notes
|
|
|
|
- ZFS is a file system and logical volume manager that is scalable, includes data integrity, and has a lot of features for managing storage.
|
|
|
|
- `zpool` is the command for managing storage pools and `zfs` is the command for managing datasets. Datasets exist within storage pools.
|
|
|
|
- ZFS has a lot of features such as compression, deduplication, snapshots, and clones.
|
|
|
|
- ZFS is a good choice for managing storage on a single host but it is not a distributed file system. If you need a distributed file system, you should look into Ceph or Seaweedfs.
