Disk

These commands are specifically related to disks and ZFS pools.

Checking the health of disks and ZFS pool

zpool status

[root@smartosn2 ~]# zpool status
pool: zones
state: ONLINE
scan: none requested
config:

NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM

raidz1-0 ONLINE 0 0 0
c0t10d0 ONLINE 0 0 0
c0t11d0 ONLINE 0 0 0
c0t9d0 ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors

Checking the status of RAW space on a zpool

zpool list

[root@smartosn2 ~]# zpool list

Checking the status of usable space on a ZFS volume

zfs list zones

[root@smartosn2 ~]# zfs list zones
NAME    USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT

Turning on ZFS compression for an entire SmartOS system and confirm its enabled

zfs set compression=on zones && zfs get compression zones

[root@smartosn2 ~]# zfs set compression=on zones && zfs get compression
zones
NAME   PROPERTY     VALUE     SOURCE
zones  compression  on        local
