**Notes:**
If not using a multi-disk setup, remove ``mirror``.
- The use of ``ashift=12`` is recommended here because many drives
today have 4 KiB (or larger) physical sectors, even though they
present 512 B logical sectors. Also, a future replacement drive may
have 4 KiB physical sectors (in which case ``ashift=12`` is desirable)
or 4 KiB logical sectors (in which case ``ashift=12`` is required).
- Setting ``-O acltype=posixacl`` enables POSIX ACLs globally. If you
do not want this, remove that option, but later add
``-o acltype=posixacl`` (note: lowercase “o”) to the ``zfs create``
for ``/var/log``, as `journald requires ACLs
<https://askubuntu.com/questions/970886/journalctl-says-failed-to-search-journal-acl-operation-not-supported>`__
- Setting ``normalization=formD`` eliminates some corner cases relating
to UTF-8 filename normalization. It also implies ``utf8only=on``,
which means that only UTF-8 filenames are allowed. If you care to
support non-UTF-8 filenames, do not use this option. For a discussion
of why requiring UTF-8 filenames may be a bad idea, see `The problems
with enforced UTF-8 only filenames
<http://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/linux/ForcedUTF8Filenames>`__.
- ``recordsize`` is unset (leaving it at the default of 128 KiB). If you
want to tune it (e.g. ``-o recordsize=1M``), see `these
<https://jrs-s.net/2019/04/03/on-zfs-recordsize/>`__ `various
<http://blog.programster.org/zfs-record-size>`__ `blog
<https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/solaris/ZFSFileRecordsizeGrowth>`__
`posts
<https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/solaris/ZFSRecordsizeAndCompression>`__.
- Setting ``relatime=on`` is a middle ground between classic POSIX
``atime`` behavior (with its significant performance impact) and
``atime=off`` (which provides the best performance by completely
disabling atime updates). Since Linux 2.6.30, ``relatime`` has been
the default for other filesystems. See `RedHats documentation
<https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/6/html/power_management_guide/relatime>`__
for further information.
- Setting ``xattr=sa`` `vastly improves the performance of extended
attributes
<https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/commit/82a37189aac955c81a59a5ecc3400475adb56355>`__.
Inside ZFS, extended attributes are used to implement POSIX ACLs.
Extended attributes can also be used by user-space applications.
`They are used by some desktop GUI applications.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_file_attributes#Linux>`__
`They can be used by Samba to store Windows ACLs and DOS attributes;
they are required for a Samba Active Directory domain controller.
<https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_a_Share_Using_Windows_ACLs>`__
Note that ``xattr=sa`` is `Linux-specific
<https://openzfs.org/wiki/Platform_code_differences>`__. If you move your
``xattr=sa`` pool to another OpenZFS implementation besides ZFS-on-Linux,
extended attributes will not be readable (though your data will be). If
portability of extended attributes is important to you, omit the
``-O xattr=sa`` above. Even if you do not want ``xattr=sa`` for the whole
pool, it is probably fine to use it for ``/var/log``.
- Make sure to include the ``-part3`` portion of the drive path. If you
forget that, you are specifying the whole disk, which ZFS will then
re-partition, and you will lose the bootloader partition(s).
