Using the ZFS File System
This section describes how to use the Solaris ZFS File System (Zettabyte File System)
on the Sun Fire X4540 server.
You administer ZFS file systems by using the
zfs
command. This command
provides a set of subcommands that perform specific operations on file systems. You
can also manage snapshots, volumes, and clones by using this command, but these
features are covered only briefly in this chapter.
With ZFS you can perform the following administrative functions:
■
Manage devices.
■
Create file systems.
■
Create and manage storage pools.
■
Create and manage volumes.
■
Take a snapshot of a file system or volume.

For more information about ZFS, and for an example of creating a file system, refer
to the
ZFS Administration Guide , (819-5461). General concepts such as hierarchical file
system layout, property inheritance, and automatic mount point management and
share interactions are included in the
ZFS Administration Guide .
