Hi,
I am not doing this, but I think it should not be to difficult. I have a
similar script running as a post-install step; maybe you can use something
like this as a script :
#!/bin/bash
check_zpool()
{
zfs_value=`/sbin/zpool list|grep -ic "zfs_bigvol"`
}
check_zpool
if [ $zfs_value -eq 0 ];then
## Create a zfs zpool raid0 for every disks locally except /dev/sda
/sbin/modprobe zfs
ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/|egrep -v "sr|sda|part" |awk '/scsi/ {print $9}'
> /tmp/disks-by-id.txt
while read disk; do
/sbin/parted -s /dev/disk/by-id/$disk mklabel GPT;
done < /tmp/disks-by-id.txt
all_disks_inline=`tr '\n' ' ' < /tmp/disks-by-id.txt`
# sometimes it fails to create the zpool
for i in {1..15}; do
check_zpool
if [ $zfs_value -eq 0 ];then
/sbin/zpool create -o ashift=12 -m /media/bigvol zfs_bigvol
$all_disks_inline
sleep 5
/sbin/zfs set compression=lz4 zfs_bigvol
sleep 1
/sbin/zfs mount -a
else
break
fi
done
rm -f /tmp/disks-by-id.txt
fi
This scripts creates a RAID0 volume using parted and disks id. Note that if
you have many many disks, RAID0 is obvisouly not recommanded (perhaps you
would switch to radiz3) and you may want to use ZFS with disks by path.
Another example using apt (this will create 3 zpool with 20 disks in each
of zpool):
apt-get install zfsutils-linux parted
ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/|egrep -v "sr|sda|part" |awk '/scsi/ {print $9}'
|head -20 > /root/pool1.txt
ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/|egrep -v "sr|sda|part" |awk '/scsi/ {print $9}' |
awk 'NR>20&&NR<=40' > pool2.txt
ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/|egrep -v "sr|sda|part" |awk '/scsi/ {print $9}' |
awk 'NR>40&&NR<=60' > pool3.txt
mkdir -p /export/pool{1,2,3}
pool1_disks=`tr '\n' ' ' < pool1.txt`
pool2_disks=`tr '\n' ' ' < pool2.txt`
pool3_disks=`tr '\n' ' ' < pool3.txt`
apt-get install parted
while read disk; do /sbin/parted -s /dev/disk/by-id/$disk mklabel GPT; done
< pool1.txt
while read disk; do /sbin/parted -s /dev/disk/by-id/$disk mklabel GPT; done
< pool2.txt
while read disk; do /sbin/parted -s /dev/disk/by-id/$disk mklabel GPT; done
< pool3.txt
zpool create pool1 -o ashift=12 -m /export/pool1 raidz3 $pool1_disks
zpool create pool2 -o ashift=12 -m /export/pool2 raidz3 $pool2_disks
zpool create pool3 -o ashift=12 -m /export/pool3 raidz3 $pool3_disks
4 kernel modules are necessary (generally, you will only see spl and zfs) :
zfs.ko, spl.ko, znvpair.ko, zcommon.ko
If you need to build ZFS from source, you will need git (or download the
tar.gz version with wget) :
apt-get install zlib1g-dev uuid-dev libattr1-dev libblkid-dev
libselinux-dev libudev-dev libssl-dev parted lsscsi wget ksh gdebi
apt-get install build-essential autoconf libtool gawk alien fakeroot
linux-headers-$(uname -r)
mkdir -p /opt/zfs-source
cd $_
git clone https://github.com/zfsonlinux/spl
git clone https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs
cd spl
git checkout master
sh autogen.sh
./configure
make -s -j$(nproc)
make install
cd ../zfs
git checkout master
sh autogen.sh
./configure
make -s -j$(nproc)
make install
echo "/lib64" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/zfs.conf
echo "/usr/local/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/zfs.conf
ldconfig
updatedb
locate spl.ko |xargs -I{} ls -l {}
# overwritting old kernel modules with more recent ones
cp /opt/zfs-source/spl/module/spl/spl.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)
/extra/spl/spl/spl.ko
cp /opt/zfs-source/spl/module/spl/spl.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)
/kernel/zfs/spl/spl.ko
locate zfs.ko |xargs -I{} ls -l {}
cp /opt/zfs-source/zfs/module/zfs/zfs.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)
/kernel/zfs/zfs/zfs.ko
locate znvpair.ko |xargs -I{} ls -l {}
cp /opt/zfs-source/zfs/module/nvpair/znvpair.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)
/kernel/zfs/nvpair/znvpair.ko
locate zcommon.ko |xargs -I{} ls -l {}
cp /opt/zfs-source/zfs/module/zcommon/zcommon.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)
/kernel/zfs/zcommon/zcommon.ko
modprobe spl
modprobe znvpair
modprobe zcommon
modprobe zfs
So you can imagine in the `package_config` a class with all the necessary
packages and in `scripts` the same class which is running other commands. I
don't think there is anything specific in FAI to use ZFS with the FAI
`disk_config`.
Kind regards,
Rémy
