# Introduction
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Currently implements basic manipulation of ZFS pools and data sets. Plan is to add more in further development, improve documentation with more examples, and add more tests. _go-libzfs_ use libzfs C library and does not wrap OpenZFS CLI tools. That way it ensure best performance. Per my personal opinion its more reliable way to do it, and that libzfs is less subject of possible changes then CLI tools. Goal is to let easy using and manipulating OpenZFS form with in go, and tries to map libzfs C library in to go style package respecting golang common practice.

# Requirements:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- OpenZFS and libzfs with development headers installed.
|
||
|
|
- Developed using go1.4.2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Installing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
go get github.com/fkasumovic/go-libzfs
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Testing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
# On command line shell run
|
||
|
|
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/fkasumovic/go-libzfs
|
||
|
|
go test
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Usage example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```go
|
||
|
|
// Create map to represent ZFS dataset properties. This is equivalent to
|
||
|
|
// list of properties you can get from ZFS CLI tool, and some more
|
||
|
|
// internally used by libzfs.
|
||
|
|
props := make(map[ZFSProp]Property)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// I choose to create (block) volume 1GiB in size. Size is just ZFS dataset
|
||
|
|
// property and this is done as map of strings. So, You have to either
|
||
|
|
// specify size as base 10 number in string, or use strconv package or
|
||
|
|
// similar to convert in to string (base 10) from numeric type.
|
||
|
|
strSize := "1073741824"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
props[ZFSPropVolsize] = Property{Value: strSize}
|
||
|
|
// In addition I explicitly choose some more properties to be set.
|
||
|
|
props[ZFSPropVolblocksize] = Property{Value: "4096"}
|
||
|
|
props[ZFSPropReservation] = Property{Value: strSize}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// Lets create desired volume
|
||
|
|
d, err := DatasetCreate("TESTPOOL/VOLUME1", DatasetTypeVolume, props)
|
||
|
|
if err != nil {
|
||
|
|
println(err.Error())
|
||
|
|
return
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
// Dataset have to be closed for memory cleanup
|
||
|
|
defer d.Close()
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
println("Created zfs volume TESTPOOL/VOLUME1")
|
||
|
|
```
