  • ZFS on OMV 7

    Zitat von Krisbee

    You don't necessarily have to destroy your first pool. But when creating pools via the WebUI just pick the appropriate values and make sure to set devices by-id , ashift = 12 and compression lz4 or zstd.

    Thank you for your answer.


    since it's a fresh setup i have no problem to destroy and re-create. i did that with ashift 12 already, and lz4 compression. what other values should i set?

    and when you say set the devices by id you mean instead of pick them from the drop down menu (/dev/sdb /dev/sdc etc...) i should grab their id (how do i find it) and put it?

    That's OK. But before you load data on to your pool just check it's been created with correct value for ashift and other properties. If you've not destroyed the first pool you created you'll probably want to do an zpool upgrade to make use of new ZFS features.

    Thanks for your response.


    So if i just destroy/delete the pool and create it again it will be created with all correct values and properties?

    OK I've managed to switch to the above, is this OK?

    I recommend installing the openmediavault-kernel plugin and installing the proxmox kernel.

    So your saying my current settings is not optimal. i was unable to find official documentation on how to do it with OMV 7.

    How do i do that on OMV 7?

    should i destroy the zfs pool i've already created for that?


    Where can i find step-by-step for how to enable zfs for OMV7?

    Hi All,


    I'm a newbie to OMV and ZFS in general, this is my 1st time installing NAS in general.


    I've installed latest proxmox on old PC with LSI adapter with few SAS drives, PCIe passtrough and all is configured properly.


    I've installed on top of proxmox the latest OMV, i did upgraded, installed from a script shell the omv extras and then zfs plugin.


    I do see the drives, i was able to create ZFS pool but from reading thread's i'm not sure i'm using the optimal settings (i.e. kernel/module) i've seen i need to have proxmox kernel within my OMV.


    below is my module and kernel, is it ok or should i do anything else, i'm asking this before i start the enter this NAS into my home "production" :)
