ZFS encrypted HOME, krypt vols, combine /boot with / root, + rando snippets
For those yet to leap into the cool clear waters of ZFS and Luks encrypted sparse ZFS files, or who need to combine /boot with / root if /boot has filled up or is insufficient for needs, the beginnings of some hints: https://github.com/zenaan/quick-fixes-ftfw Create your world,

Revisited ZFS backups in vigour, wrote an easy to follow little tute so I don't bloody forget how to do it next time :/ Update here: https://github.com/zenaan/quick-fixes-ftfw and the backups "4 actually simple steps", part way down the direct link here: https://github.com/zenaan/quick-fixes-ftfw/blob/master/zfs/zfs.txt When it sings, ZFS is the git of filesystems, only with a leaner, more elegant TUI. Enjoy,
thank you.
i remember the days of teenage hacking when the perl manual was candy. no
longer in those days.
I restarted ZFS a few days ago and immediately ran into an unpatched issue
(reformatted my device without closing up the pool using it, no way to do
so now without reboot, other long running processes active). ZFS is
powerful and needed.

There is proof inside many peoples' electronics. Proof that a marketing group would contract development of a frightening virus. A virus that responds to peoples' keystrokes and browsing habits, and changes what people see on their devices. A virus that alters political behavior en masse, for profit.

ZFS tute updated, headers Markdownified, some clarifications, and bonus new tutes: Step 5 - Easily create a full additional backup drive. Step 6 - Do a full scan (check for errors) of your backup drive(s)/ bak pool Step 7 - Easily replace a bad/failing backup drive (And e.g. ZP_BAK changed to BAK_POOL for easier reading.) Seriously, with zfs we've never had backups like this - so simple (almost trivial to do), so elegant and synchronized to a point in time (and this is LIVE fs backups!) so no uncertainty or inconsistencies, and all ZFS raid levels just a trivial command (and extra drive or 3) away! You owe it to yours elf to get this power on board your hot little fingertips - this is so insanely easy you will undoubtedly start imagining that "commercial online backup" enterprise you've got on yer bucket list. And now you have a tutorial that even has bold headings :D On fire! Read it and praise your maker: https://github.com/zenaan/quick-fixes-ftfw/blob/master/zfs/zfs.md

About finished now; added: - TOC - advanced tute 2: Free up disk space, "remove" low prio data pool filesystem - "first steps" tute 0: Tutorial 0: Create a ZFS data partition Tute 2 is tested as written this evening, so mostly bug free :) In the middle of a resilver arising from doing "Easily create a full additional backup drive". Double smile .. Tute 1, steps 6 and 7 not personally tested, yet - git fetch in a month or so and that should catch any possible small updates. Tutorial 0: Create a ZFS data partition Step 0 - Locate your data partition or disk drive Step 1 - Create your data pool Step 2 - Create zfs filesystems Step 3 - Create a point in time zfs snapshot Tutorial 1: ZFS Backups - send/recv Step 0 - Create at least 1 snapshot of source pool/filesystem to backup Step 1 - Init new (e.g. USB) 'backups' disk/drive Step 2 - Create initial "full" source pool backup Step 3 - Export and unplug backup drive(s) Step 4 - Do subsequent "incremental" zfs zpool backup Step 5 - Easily create a full additional backup drive Step 6 - Do a full scan (check for errors) of your backup drive(s) Step 7 - Easily replace a bad/failing backup drive Tutorial 2: Free up disk space, "remove" low prio data pool filesystem Step 0 - Import backup pool, using alternate root Step 1 - Clone the low priority filesystem Step 2 - Delete low prio filesystem from primary pool These are the tutes I wanted for zfs. Now they exist.
