-\\
-\\
-===== Summary =====
-The ZFS plugin makes it easy for users to take advantage of ZFS by installing ZFS and making it's more important features available within Openmediavault's GUI.
-==== What is ZFS? ====
-ZFS is an advanced "Copy on Write" file system with several desirable features.
-The more important among ZFS' several features are as follows:
-  *     Pooled storage (Built in logical volume management)
-  *     **Snapshots**  (Creates a file, folder, volume history.)
-  *     Data **integrity verification** and **automatic repair**
-  *     RAID-Z, Zmirror and other legacy RAID equivalents, without legacy drawbacks such as the "write hole" and silent data corruption.  *
-Data integrity and repair, and data restoration (VIA snapshots) are among ZFS' more important features.

-===== Installation =====
-To get started with ZFS and create the most stable server possible, some preliminary settings and adjustments are recommended.
-Disable Backports:\\
-Linux backport kernels are released quickly to support the "latest and greatest - cutting edge" hardware.  As a consequence the "userland" (software supported by the latest backport kernels) may not be complete.  ZFS at times, may not be in the software repo's of backports kernels, immediately after their release.  To avoid broken package issues it's best to use the mainline kernel, by disabling "backports". \\
