Attribute reference

See also: The list of generic builtin item attributes


config

A list of dicts. This allows you to create arbitrary pool configurations. Each dict must include a devices key, which must contain atleast one device to use. type is optional, if set, it must be one of these types:

  • mirror - creates a mirrored vdev (like RAID1)
  • raidz - creates a raidz vdev (like RAID5)
  • raidz2 - creates a raidz2 vdev (like RAID6)
  • raidz3 - creates a raidz3 vdev
  • log - creates a ZIL vdev
  • cache - creates a L2ARC vdev

When creating a log vdev, you may only use one or two devices. BundleWrap will automatically create a log mirror if you specify two devices for your log vdev.


ashift

Sets the ashift attribute for a to-be-created pool. ashift gets ignored if the requested pool already exists.


autoexpand, autoreplace, and autotrim

Sets the corresponding zpool options autoexpand, autoreplace and autotrim.
