Hi all,
Got a new box with new disks, so no old data on it, blank slate as it were.
Going to be a pool containing two vdevs initially of mirrored drives, so 4 drives total.
Just looking for whatever command(s) the GUI sends through when you create a new ZFS Pool.
I primarily want to specify the "ashift" parameter and would do this via the CLI, but don't want to miss any special flags/identifiers etc that truenas may want to send/pass.
Also previously I've had my last box set up using labels (admittedly my last pool started off life pre v15 of zfs...) and a lot of people appear to be doing it via actual disk serials and fixed device id's. Its too long ago to remember why I originally did it via GPT labels , maybe because of GELI? - anyway i'm not using GELI for this server - but the method via the GPT labels was rock solid in terms of its use over 10 years. So if someone could give me some advice on the pro's/cons and best practice in 2020 around this that would be great.
I should mention i'm not importing or using my old pool, I will transfer some of the data over but this is me setting up a new build from scratch.
