Creating a partition....???
I have created a pool named earthpool using zpool command. Later I created a file system named earth using zfs command. I changed the mountpoint of earth (file system) using
zfs set mountpoint=/earth earthpool/earth.
Where /earth is a directory created in root using mkdir.
Now, I have a partition with the name earth.
Am I correct in creating the partition ? Below are the details of the result got by using the commands
root@mylodon # zpool create earthpool raidz2 c0t0d0 c1t0d0 c4t0d0 c6t0d0 c7t0d0 c0t1d0 c0t2d0 c0t3d0 c0t4d0 c0t5d0 c0t6d0 c0t7d0
