Simulating ZFS Failures | Notes

| | 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.

Installing FreeBSD with a ZFS root on a PowerMac G5 - Julio Merino (jmmv.dev)
13.5 parsecs away

| Suppose you have a nice PowerMac G5 big beast around and want to install a modern operating system on it. Suppose that you want FreeBSD to run on it. Suppose that you would like to use ZFS as much as possible, say to use the machine as a NAS. If all of the above apply to you, you have come to the right place! Read on for how I got FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT with a ZFS root to work on a PowerMac G5. I am pretty sure the instructions here apply to other PowerPC-based machines as well, although the specific details on how to set up the boot loader most likely differ.
