=== ZFS ===
Shell uses ZFS for the main data pool, which is mounted at /home (and each user's homedir is an individual dataset).
As of Fall 2025, it has roughly ~8TB in raw space (4x2TB drives), ~4TB after formatting (RAID10 / striped-mirrors) and ~1TB used with ~3.5TB free.
 
Some helpful commands are:
 
* View general pool status (and disk health)▼
** <code>zpool status</code>
* View all ZFS snapshots
** <code>zfs list -t snapshot</code>
* Delete specific snapshot
** <code>zfs destroy -r zhome@example-snapshot</code>
 
▲* View general pool status (and disk health)
Automated tasks (cronjobs):
