Overview

Master the art and science of enterprise-grade storage with TrueNAS and OpenZFS through a comprehensive, hands-on blueprint that transforms theoretical concepts into production-ready infrastructure. In TrueNAS and OpenZFS Mastery, Willow Runner provides systems engineers, DevOps practitioners, and IT architects with the definitive guide to designing, deploying, and managing high-performance, fault-tolerant file systems using TrueNAS CORE and SCALE editions. This book delivers actionable workflows, architectural patterns, and optimization strategies for OpenZFS vdevs, zpools, datasets, snapshots, replication, and redundancy models. From initial hardware selection and RAID-Z configuration to advanced SMB, NFS, iSCSI block services, ACLs, performance monitoring, and long-term data integrity, every chapter builds scalable storage clusters that ensure zero-downtime reliability and seamless network integration. Ideal for system administrators building homelab NAS environments, DevOps teams orchestrating storage in Kubernetes, or enterprise architects demanding petabyte-scale resilience, this resource equips you with best practices to avoid common pitfalls, tune system resources, and implement secure user access controls. Inside, you'll gain proficiency in: OpenZFS internals including vdev topologies, pool creation, and dataset hierarchies Redundancy strategies with RAID-Z, mirrors, and dRAID for data protection Snapshot management, replication tasks, and ZFS send/receive pipelines Network sharing protocols: SMB/CIFS, NFSv4, and iSCSI targets/extents Permissions frameworks using NFSv4 ACLs and POSIX permissions Performance tuning via ARC, L2ARC, ZIL, and compression algorithms Monitoring tools, alerts, and proactive maintenance for storage health In a data-driven world where infrastructure failures are unacceptable, TrueNAS and OpenZFS provide the open-source foundation for unbreakable storage architecture. Willow Runner bridges conceptual understanding with practical implementation, empowering you to deploy systems that scale effortlessly while preserving every byte. Perfect for anyone pursuing TrueNAS certification, optimizing FreeBSD-based storage, or integrating OpenZFS into Linux environments-this is your complete reference for building storage you can trust.
