# Go Wrapper for ZFS #
|
|
|
|
Simple wrappers for ZFS command line tools.
|
|
|
|
[](https://godoc.org/github.com/mistifyio/go-zfs)
|
|
|
|
## Requirements ##
|
|
|
|
You need a working ZFS setup. To use on Ubuntu 14.04, setup ZFS:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
|
|
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:zfs-native/stable
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
|
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-zfs libzfs-dev
|
|
|
|
Developed using Go 1.3, but currently there isn't anything 1.3 specific. Don't use Ubuntu packages for Go, use http://golang.org/doc/install
|
|
|
|
Generally you need root privileges to use anything zfs related.
|
|
|
|
## Status ##
|
|
|
|
This has been only been tested on Ubuntu 14.04
|
|
|
|
In the future, we hope to work directly with libzfs.

# Hacking #
|
|
|
|
The tests have decent examples for most functions.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
//assuming a zpool named test
|
|
//error handling omitted
|
|
|
|
|
|
f, err := zfs.CreateFilesystem("test/snapshot-test", nil)
|
|
ok(t, err)
|
|
|
|
s, err := f.Snapshot("test", nil)
|
|
ok(t, err)
|
|
|
|
// snapshot is named "test/snapshot-test@test"
|
|
|
|
c, err := s.Clone("test/clone-test", nil)
|
|
|
|
err := c.Destroy()
|
|
err := s.Destroy()
|
|
err := f.Destroy()
|
|
|
|
```
