How to create a zfs pool from file vdevs

1. Procedure

1.1. Step 1: Create 3 virtaul devices for test

Here, I use 3 files as the vdev to service the pool.

for i in {1..3}; do truncate -s 2G vdev_$i.img; done

E.g.

Assemble to the raidz1 pool.

sudo zpool create myzpool raidz1 /home/jing/test/tank/vdev_1.img /home/jing/test/tank/vdev_2.img /home/jing/test/tank/vdev_3.img

E.g.

zpool list

Now, we got a 5.5G zpool.

zpool status myzpool

E.g.

To destroy a zpool, you can do this.

zpool destory myzpool
