Since [Eoan Ermine (Ubuntu 19.10)](https://ubuntu.com/blog/enhancing-our-zfs-support-on-ubuntu-19-10-an-introduction), Ubuntu installer (for desktop) can use [ZFS](https://github.com/openzfs/zfs) as root file-system.
The current LTS, [Focal Fossa (Ubuntu 20.04)](https://ubuntu.com/blog/zfs-focus-on-ubuntu-20-04-lts-whats-new) provides only a mono-disk installation, here's how to enhance a mono-disk installation into a mirrored-disk installation to use data resilience provided by ZFS.
🚧 _ZFS on root is still experimental_ 🚧
🔧 Howto
--------
* `sda` is the disk used by installer
* `sdb` is the disk we're going to add to create a mirror
```
user@focal:~$ lsblk -a
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 931,5G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 513M 0 part
├─sda2 8:2 0 1K 0 part
├─sda5 8:5 0 2G 0 part [SWAP]
├─sda6 8:6 0 2G 0 part
└─sda7 8:7 0 927G 0 part
sdb 8:16 0 931,5G 0 disk
```
```bash
user@focal:~$ blkid
/dev/sda1: UUID="BFE4-2413" TYPE="vfat" PARTUUID="f0771fca-01"
/dev/sda5: UUID="42456868-afc5-4dea-8b73-11257b84890e" TYPE="swap" PARTUUID="f0771fca-05"
/dev/sda6: LABEL="bpool" UUID="11578277722432725130" UUID_SUB="9520999198366150859" TYPE="zfs_member" PARTUUID="f0771fca-06"
/dev/sda7: LABEL="rpool" UUID="13693210375688435814" UUID_SUB="8709443765040685487" TYPE="zfs_member" PARTUUID="f0771fca-07"
```
Ubuntu creates 2 [`pools`](https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/zfs-term.html#zfs-term-pool):
1. `bpool`: containing boot _pool_
1. `rpool`: containing root _pool_, with all file-system
```bash
user@focal:~$ zpool list
NAME SIZE ALLOC FREE CKPOINT EXPANDSZ FRAG CAP DEDUP HEALTH ALTROOT
bpool 1,88G 91,2M 1,79G - - 0% 4% 1.00x ONLINE -
rpool 920G 3,19G 917G - - 0% 0% 1.00x ONLINE -
```
```bash
user@focal:~$ zpool status
pool: bpool
state: ONLINE
scan: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
bpool ONLINE 0 0 0
f0771fca-06 ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
pool: rpool
state: ONLINE
scan: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
rpool ONLINE 0 0 0
f0771fca-07 ONLINE 0 0 0
```
Run `fdisk` to copy `sda` partition table to `sdb` using sfdisk compatible script files ([_see manpage_](https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man8/fdisk.8.html#script%20files)).
```bash
user@focal:~$ fdisk /dev/sda #copy to file with O
user@focal:~$ fdisk /dev/sdb #import from file with I
```
```bash
user@focal:~$ lsblk -a
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 931,5G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 513M 0 part
├─sda2 8:2 0 1K 0 part
├─sda5 8:5 0 2G 0 part [SWAP]
├─sda6 8:6 0 2G 0 part
└─sda7 8:7 0 927G 0 part
sdb 8:16 0 931,5G 0 disk
├─sdb1 8:17 0 513M 0 part
├─sdb2 8:18 0 1K 0 part
├─sdb5 8:21 0 2G 0 part
├─sdb6 8:22 0 2G 0 part
└─sdb7 8:23 0 927G 0 part
```
[Attach](https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/zfs-zpool.html#zfs-zpool-attach) the twin partitions on pools :
```bash
user@focal:~$ sudo zpool attach bpool f0771fca-06 /dev/sdb6
user@focal:~$ sudo zpool attach rpool f0771fca-07 /dev/sdb7
```
🎉 Tada!
```bash
user@focal:~$ zpool status
pool: bpool

1. Steps compatible with [version `21.04` «_Hirsute Hippo_»](https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/hirsute-hippo-release-notes/19221) instaler;
* the partition numbering seems to be continuous now
1. Enlarge `swap` with the available partition on the added disk
```bash
user@hirsute:~$ free -h
total utilisé libre partagé tamp/cache disponible
Mem: 11Gi 974Mi 10Gi 7,0Mi 259Mi 10Gi
Swap: 2,0Gi 0B 2,0Gi
user@hirsute:~$ sudo mkswap /dev/sdb5
Configure l'espace d'échange (swap) en version 1, taille = 2 GiB (2147479552 octets)
pas d'étiquette, UUID=bbbbbbbb-bbbbb-bbbb-bbbb-bbbbbbb
user@hirsute:~$ grep swap /etc/fstab
UUID=aaaaaaaa-aaaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaaaaa none swap sw 0 0
UUID=bbbbbbbb-bbbbb-bbbb-bbbb-bbbbbbb none swap sw 0 0
user@hirsute:~$ sudo swapon -U bbbbbbbb-bbbbb-bbbb-bbbb-bbbbbbb
user@hirsute:~$ free -h
total utilisé libre partagé tamp/cache disponible
Mem: 11Gi 1,0Gi 10Gi 7,0Mi 261Mi 10Gi
Swap: 4,0Gi 0B 4,0Gi
