This was one of the very first ZFS demos I've seen at some sales engineers training by Sun Microsystems Germany (Sun and Sun partner engineers), probably sometimes in 2005. Demo was to export the pool, unplug and scramble the thumb drives, plug all drives back in and import the pool. #vintagecomputing #zfs
@stiefkind I did something similar when I was a Red Hat instructor/examiner using mdraid and LVM back in 2008-2010.
It wasn't as simple as "zpool export" and "zpool import" (RHEL doesn't support ZFS), but the general idea was the same.
1. Setup RAID, LVM, fs.
2. Mount and write data.
3. Unmount, tear down LVM and RAID.
4. Shuffle drives.
5. Reinsert and reassemble.
6. Mount and read data.
Always a fun demo to make.
These were the exact USB drives I used. 2 GB PNY drives with sheaths removed.
