Native ZFS installation on rhel6

Native ZFS installation on rhel6

Zfs (zettabyte File System), as a brand new file system, has completely abandoned the traditional file system + volume manager + storage (File System + volume management + storage) architecture, all storage devices are managed through the ZFS pool. As long as you add various storage devices to the same ZFS pool, you can easily manage the configuration file system in this ZFS pool.
