Creating a ZFS file system

The best part about zfs is that oracle(or should I say Sun) has kept the commands for it
pretty easy to understand and remember. To create a file system fs1 in an existing zfs
pool geekpool:
# zfs create geekpool/fs1
# zfs list
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
geekpool 131K 976M 31K /geekpool
geekpool/fs1 31K 976M 31K /geekpool/fs1

To set mount point for the file system

By default a mount point (/poolname/fs_name) will be created for the file system if you
don’t specify. In our case it was /geekpool/fs1. Also you do not have to have an entry of
the mount point in /etc/vfstab as it is stored internally in the metadata of zfs pool and
mounted automatically when system boots up. If you want to change the mount point :
# zfs set mountpoint=/test geekpool/fs1
# df -h |grep /test
geekpool/fs1 500M 31K 500M 1% /test
