# virsh pool-define-as --name zfspool --source-name export --type zfs error: Failed to define pool zfspool error: internal error: missing backend for pool type 11 (zfs) ZFS support has been in upstream for FreeBSD since version 1.28: https://libvirt.org/storage.html#StorageBackendZFS and for ZFS-on-Linux since Feb this year, as mentioned in /usr/share/doc/libvirt-clients/changelog.gz: : 2016-02-04 Roman Bogorodskiy <bogorods...@gmail.com> : : configure: zfs: enable on Linux : : ZFS-on-Linux implementation of ZFS starting with version 0.6.4 : contains all the features we use. Additionally, as we support : 'volmode' option handling that's not available on ZoL but is : available on FreeBSD, there is no need to block ZFS storage driver : on Linux anymore. : : So un-mark zfs storage driver as FreeBSD-only. I've been manually creating ZVOLs and accessing them in libvirt VMs (with a 'dir' storage pool pointing to /dev/zvol/export/volumes) for years, but it would be useful to be able to manage them directly with virsh or virt-manager. craig -- craig sanders <c...@taz.net.au>
