9.10, ZFS?

[Arkhen]

Hi

So I managed to install my first FreeNAS server using the below listed hardware and the latest stable release, aka version 9.10. I'm just a little confused as I don't see the option for ZFS filesystem anywhere. During the initial installation wizard that popped up the first time I entered the FreeNAS GUI I picked RaidZ2 as I have plenty of drives for 2 drive redundancy, but no options for filesystems.

When looking at guides (that are made from version 9.3) I see ZFS options under Volumes, but I don't have them. Was this changed in version 9.10?

Sorry if it's a noobie question, but atleast I made it this far! :p

Hardware used
- CPU: Xeon E3 1270 V5
- RAM: 2x Crucial 16GB DDR4 ECC CT2K16G4WFD8213
- Motherboard: Supermicro X11SSH-F
- USB for the OS: Corsair Voyager 32GB 3.0
- HDDs: 7x 4TB WD Red in RaidZ2
- PSU: Corsair RM650
- Case: Fractal Define R5

Regards,
Arkhen

Sounds like you're reading an older version of the Guides. This is the one you want (it's also built into the GUI): http://doc.freenas.org/9.10/. The Volume Manager no longer says ZFS as that is the only filesystem available (older versions also supported UFS).

Ya I thought so too, only thing making sense to me. Thank you for the more recent guide!

Raidz2 IS ZFS. Everything in FreeNAS is ZFS

Everything in FreeNAS is ZFS

...starting at FreeNAS v9.3 (thanks PirateGhost for the correct version)

...starting at FreeNAS v9.2 (I think?)

9.3

9.2 still had some options for UFS
