These are some standard zpool names that I use and what the names indicate.

  • data: spinning rust, usually RAIDZ or RAID10, dedup w/ zstd
  • best: usually SSD stripe (RAID0) or single drive, usually no dedup, no compression
  • fast: usually SSD mirror (RAID1), usually dedup with lz4 compression (zstd also good)
  • slow: spinning rust, dedup w/ zstd
  • temp: for temp data, probably spinning rust, maybe dedup w/ zstd depending on use case ('temp' on 'charm' has dedup and compression off)
  • safe: usually SSD mirror (RAID1), usually dedup with zstd compression.
  • bare: single disk; usually dedup with zstd compression.
