Best Practices For Optimizing ZFS

ZFS was introduced in 2001 to simplify storage administration by combining the filesystem with the volume manager, introducing new levels of redundancy, and offering a much simpler user interface.

During the first webinar in the 'Best Practices for ZFS' series, Allan Jude explained that while ZFS works for most common use cases out of the box, getting the most out of it requires an understanding of what it is doing and how each of the tuning knobs impacts its performance.

Your takeaways after the webinar:

• Building Your Storage Array – Everything from picking the best hardware to RAID-Z and using mirrors.
• Keeping up with Data Growth – Expanding and growing your pool, and of course, shrinking with device evacuation.
• Datasets and Properties – Controlling settings with properties and many other tricks!
