System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps administrators manage ZFS pools across multiple devices by providing health monitoring, automated snapshot management, cross-device replication, and proactive troubleshooting.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Health checks and status reporting for ZFS pools with scrub status and capacity awareness.
  • Automated snapshot management using Sanoid/Syncoid, with guidance for retention, pruning, and restoration workflows.
  • Cross-device replication orchestration (pull-based) with staggered scheduling and delegation considerations for non-root operation.
  • Dataset property optimization (compression, atime, recordsize) and performance tuning for common homelab workloads.
  • Troubleshooting guidance and recovery procedures for degraded pools, replication failures, and capacity-related issues.

Quick Start

Install ZFS tooling and ensure SSH access between backup and source devices, then run a basic health check to verify pools are ONLINE.
