<p>Pools are managed with the <a href="https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/man/8/zpool.8.html"><code>zpool(8)</code></a> command and have the
following hierarchy:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>pool</code>: consists of one or more virtual devices (<code>vdev</code>)</li>
<li><code>vdev</code>: consists of one or more physical devices (<code>dev</code>) and come in
different kinds such as <a href="https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/man/7/zpoolconcepts.7.html#Virtual_Devices_(vdevs)"><code>disk</code>, <code>mirror</code>, <code>raidzX</code>, ...</a>
<ul>
<li><code>disk</code>: single physical disk (<code>vdev == dev</code>)</li>
<li><code>mirror</code>: data is identically replicated on all <code>devs</code> (requires at least 2
physical devices).</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Data stored in a pool is distributed and stored across all <code>vdevs</code> by zfs.
Therefore a total failure of a single <code>vdev</code> can lead to total loss of a pool.</p>
<p>A <code>dataset</code> is a logical volume which can be created on top of a <code>pool</code>. Each
<code>dataset</code> can be configured with its own set of <code>properties</code> like
<a href="https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/man/7/zfsprops.7.html"><code>encryption</code>, <code>quota</code>, ...</a>.
