(2) use c0t1d0s6 for zfs

(3) create v device pool

# zpool create ktspool c0t1d0s6

(4) list the pool
# zpool list
NAME SIZE USED AVAIL CAP HEALTH ALTROOT
ktspool 34,5G 33,5K 34,5G 0% ONLINE -
(5) check pool status
# zpool status
pool: ktspool
state: ONLINE
scrub: none requested
(6) ktspool file system was created. verify file system

# df -kh

ktspool 34G 9K 34G 1% /ktspool

(7) create a new file system as ktspool/kts

zfs create ktspool/kts

(8) verify the file system creation

# df -kh

ktspool 34G 9K 34G 1% /ktspool
ktspool/kts 34G 9K 34G 1% /ktspool/kts

(9) change the mount point of the zfs file system to /kabirazfs

zfs set mountpoint=/kabirazfs ktspool/kts

(10) verify the new mounted point

# df -kh

ktspool/kts 34G 9K 34G 1% /kabirazfs


Also can see /kabirazfs is created under "/"


(11) zpool iostat -x 5


(12) check zfs properties setting. such as compression is disabled
