| I wanted to create a script that would e-mail me when it detected a failure in a ZFS storage pool, but to test it I needed a failing zpool. You could create a zpool with a USB hub and some USB memory sticks, and then pull them out as you like, but that involves getting up, something I try to reserve for important things like getting a new cup of tea, or a biscuit. Luckily ZFS has the ability to create pool just from files.
