|
|
============
|
|
|
|
**Use at your own risk**!

|
|
|
Beware: Dragons might eat your precious data!
|
|
|
|
Install ZFS in Dom0
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Install DKMS style packages for Fedora <sup>(defunct in 0.6.2 due to spl/issues/284)</sup>
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Fetch and install repository for DKMS style packages for your Dom0 Fedora version [http://zfsonlinux.org/fedora.html](http://zfsonlinux.org/fedora.html):
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
disp1# wget http://archive.zfsonlinux.org/fedora/zfs-release-1-1$(rpm -E %dist).noarch.rpm
|
|
dom0# qvm-run --pass-io disp1 'cat /home/user/zfs-release-1-1.fc18.noarch.rpm' > /home/user/zfs-release-1-1.fc18.noarch.rpm
|
|
dom0# sudo yum localinstall /home/user/zfs-release-1-1.fc18.noarch.rpm
|
|
dom0# sudo sed -i 's/$releasever/18/g' /etc/yum.repo.d/zfs.repo
|
|
dom0# sudo qubes-dom0-update @development-tools
|
|
dom0# sudo qubes-dom0-update zfs

|
|
|
~~~
|
|
sudo qubes-dom0-update dkms kernel-devel zlib-devel libuuid-devel libblkid-devel lsscsi bc autoconf automake binutils bison flex gcc gcc-c++ gdb gettext libtool make pkgconfig redhat-rpm-config rpm-build strace
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Configure and build SPL DKMS packages:
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
cd ~/repositories/spl
|
|
./autogen.sh
|
|
./configure --with-config=user
|
|
make rpm-utils rpm-dkms
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Configure and build ZFS DKMS packages:
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
cd ~/repositories/zfs
|
|
./autogen.sh
|
|
./configure --with-config=user
|
|
make rpm-utils rpm-dkms
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Install SPL and ZFS packages (i.e. version 0.6.2):
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
sudo yum localinstall \
|
|
~/repositories/spl/spl-0.6.2-1.qbs2.x86_64.rpm \
|
|
~/repositories/spl/spl-dkms-0.6.2-1.qbs2.noarch.rpm \
|
|
~/repositories/zfs/zfs-0.6.2-1.qbs2.x86_64.rpm \
|
|
~/repositories/zfs/zfs-dkms-0.6.2-1.qbs2.noarch.rpm \
|
|
~/repositories/zfs/zfs-dracut-0.6.2-1.qbs2.x86_64.rpm \
|
|
~/repositories/zfs/zfs-test-0.6.2-1.qbs2.x86_64.rpm
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Configure ZFS
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Automatically load modules
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
/etc/sysconfig/modules/zfs.modules
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
|
|
for module in spl zfs; do
|
|
modprobe ${module} >/dev/null 2>&1
|
|
done
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Make this file executable.
|
|
|
|
Tuning
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Tame the memory-eating dragon (i.e. 512 Mb zfs\_arc\_max):
|
|
|
|
/etc/modprobe.d/zfs.conf
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
options zfs zfs_arc_max=536870912
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Setup a zpool with ZFS datasets
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
You can create a ZFS dataset for each AppVM, ServiceVM, HVM or TemplateVM or just use a pool as your backup location.
|
|
|
|
Move your existing directory to a temporary location, or the ZFS mount will overlay your directory.
|
|
|
|
Beware: VMs on a ZFS dataset aren't working, if your ZFS installation deserts you.
|
|
|
|
So keep netvm, firewallvm and your templates on your root file-system (preferably on a SSD).
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
zpool create -m none -o ashift=12 -O atime=off -O compression=lz4 qubes mirror /dev/mapper/<cryptname1> /dev/mapper/<cryptname2>
|
|
zfs create -p qubes/appvms
|
|
zfs create -m /var/lib/qubes/backup-zfs qubes/backup
|
|
zfs create -m /var/lib/qubes/appvms/banking qubes/appvms/banking
|
|
zfs create -m /var/lib/qubes/appvms/personal qubes/appvms/personal
|
|
zfs create -m /var/lib/qubes/appvms/untrusted qubes/appvms/untrusted
|
|
zfs create -m /var/lib/qubes/appvms/work qubes/appvms/work
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Have fun with zpool and zfs.
|

Tips and Hints
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Backup your data
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
You're depending on an huge amount of code for this file system, keep this in mind and backup your precious data.
|
|
|
|
Encrypt underlying devices
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
dom0# cryptsetup -c aes-xts-plain64 luksFormat <device1>
|
|
dom0# cryptsetup luksOpen <device1> <cryptname1>
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
With the use of cryptsetup a keyfile can be specified to decrypt devices.
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
dom0# head -c 256 /dev/random > /root/keyfile1
|
|
dom0# chmod 0400 /root/keyfile1
|
|
dom0# cryptsetup luksAddKey <device1> /root/keyfile1
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Decrypt devices on boot
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
Add your devices to /etc/crypttab.
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
<cryptname1> <device1> <keyfile1>
|
|
<cryptname2> <device2> none
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Specifying a keyfile is especially useful, if ZFS should be ready during boot.
