Advanced ZFS Configuration Options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The installer creates the ZFS pool `rpool`, if ZFS is used. No swap space is
created but you can reserve some unpartitioned space on the install disks for
swap. You can also create a swap zvol after the installation, although this can
lead to problems.
`ashift`::
Defines the `ashift` value for the created pool. The `ashift` needs to be set at
least to the sector-size of the underlying disks (2 to the power of `ashift` is
the sector-size), or any disk which might be put in the pool (for example the
replacement of a defective disk).
`compress`::
Defines whether compression is enabled for `rpool`.
`checksum`::
Defines which checksumming algorithm should be used for `rpool`.
`copies`::
Defines the `copies` parameter for `rpool`. Check the `zfs(8)` manpage for the
semantics, and why this does not replace redundancy on disk-level.
`hdsize`::
Defines the total hard disk size to be used. This is useful to save free space
on the hard disk(s) for further partitioning (for example to create a
swap-partition). `hdsize` is only honored for bootable disks, that is only the
first disk or mirror for RAID0, RAID1 or RAID10, and all disks in RAID-Z[123].
