<title>Guided Partitioning Using Root-on-ZFS</title>
|

|

<para>Support for automatic creation of root-on-ZFS
|
||||
installations was added in &os; 10.0-RELEASE. This
|
||||
partitioning mode only works with whole disks and will erase
|
||||
the contents of the entire disk. The installer will
|
||||
automatically create partitions aligned to 4k boundaries and
|
||||
force <acronym>ZFS</acronym> to use 4k sectors. This is safe
|
||||
even with 512 byte sector disks, and has the added benefit of
|
||||
ensuring that pools created on 512 byte disks will be able to
|
||||
have 4k sector disks added in the future, either as additional
|
||||
storage space or as replacements for failed disks. The
|
||||
installer can also optionally employ <acronym>GELI</acronym>
|
||||
disk encryption as described in <xref
|
||||
linkend="disks-encrypting-geli"/>.
|
||||
If encryption is enabled, a 2 GB unencrypted boot pool
|
||||
containing the <filename>/boot</filename> directory is
|
||||
created. It holds the kernel and other files necessary to
|
||||
boot the system. A swap partition of a user selectable size
|
||||
is also created, and all remaining space is used for the
|
||||
<acronym>ZFS</acronym> pool.</para>
