CSI driver for provisioning Local PVs backed by ZFS and more.
## Project Status
-This project is under active development and with the release of version v0.8.x it is now promoted to beta state. The current implementation supports provisioning and de-provisioning of ZFS Volumes, CSI volume resize, Raw block volumes, Snapshot and Clone. Also, few properties like compression, dedup and recordsize can be provided while provisioning the volumes and can also be changed after provisioning is done.
+With the release of version 1.2.0, the ZFS-LocalPV is promoted to GA. It is ready for the production, see our [adopters](https://github.com/openebs/openebs/issues/2719).

Please note that once a PV is created for a node, application using that PV will always get scheduled to that particular node only, as PV will be sticky to that node.
The scheduling algorithm by ZFS driver or kubernetes will come into picture only during the deployment time. Once the PV is created,
the application can not move anywhere as the data is there on the node where the PV is.

-#### 7. Snapshot
+#### 5. Deprovisioning
-We can create a snapshot of a volume which can be used further for creating a clone and for taking a backup. To create a snapshot, we have to first create a snapshotclass just like a storage class.
-
-```yaml
-kind: VolumeSnapshotClass
-apiVersion: snapshot.storage.k8s.io/v1beta1
-metadata:
- name: zfspv-snapclass
- annotations:
- snapshot.storage.kubernetes.io/is-default-class: "true"
-driver: zfs.csi.openebs.io
-deletionPolicy: Delete
-```
-
-Then create the snapshot using the above snapshotclass :
-
-```yaml
-apiVersion: snapshot.storage.k8s.io/v1beta1
-kind: VolumeSnapshot
-metadata:
- name: zfspv-snap
-spec:
- volumeSnapshotClassName: zfspv-snapclass
- source:
- persistentVolumeClaimName: csi-zfspv
-```
-Plese note that, you have to create the snapshot in the same namespace where the pvc is created. Check the created snapshot resource, make sure readyToUse field is true, before using this snapshot for any purpose.
-Here one thing need to be noted that, when zfs takes the volume snapshot it is not aware of application, so snapshot may not be application-consistent. For application-consistent snapshot it is always recommended to scale down the application before taking the application-consistent volume snapshot. After taking the snapshot we can scale up the application again and proceed further with the clone-creation.

-We can create a clone volume from a snapshot and use that volume for some application. We can create a pvc yaml and mention the snapshot name in the datasource.

-```
-The above yaml says that create a volume from the snapshot zfspv-snap. Applying the above yaml will create a clone volume on the same node where the original volume is present. The newly created clone PV will also be there on the same node where the original PV is there.
-
-Note that the clone PVC should also be of the same size as that of the original volume as right now resize is not supported. Also note that the poolname should also be same, as across the ZPOOL clone is not supported. So, if you are using a separate storageclass for the clone PVC, please make sure it refers to the same ZPOOL.

+The clone volume will have properties same as source volume properties at the time of creating the clone. The ZFSVolume object for the clone volume will be something like below:
+
+```

+The ZFS-LocalPV driver creates an internal snapshot on the source volume with the name same as clone volume name and then creates the clone from that snapshot. Here you can note that this resource has Snapname field which tells that this volume is created from that internal snapshot.

+## Snapshot
+
+We can create a snapshot of a volume that can be used further for creating a clone and for taking a backup. To create a snapshot, we have to first create a SnapshotClass just like a storage class where you can provide deletionPolicy as Retain or Delete.
+
+```yaml
+$ cat snapshotclass.yaml
+kind: VolumeSnapshotClass
+apiVersion: snapshot.storage.k8s.io/v1beta1
+metadata:
+ name: zfspv-snapclass
+ annotations:
+ snapshot.storage.kubernetes.io/is-default-class: "true"
+driver: zfs.csi.openebs.io
+deletionPolicy: Delete
+```
+
+Apply the snapshotclass YAML:
+
+```
+$ kubectl apply -f snapshotclass.yaml
+volumesnapshotclass.snapshot.storage.k8s.io/zfspv-snapclass created
+```
+
+Find a PVC for which snapshot has to be created
+
+```
+$ kubectl get pvc
+NAME STATUS VOLUME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES STORAGECLASS AGE
+csi-zfspv Bound pvc-73402f6e-d054-4ec2-95a4-eb8452724afb 4Gi RWO openebs-zfspv 2m35s
+```
+
+Create the snapshot using the created SnapshotClass for the selected PVC
+
+```
+$ cat snapshot.yaml
+apiVersion: snapshot.storage.k8s.io/v1beta1
+kind: VolumeSnapshot
+metadata:
+ name: zfspv-snap
+spec:
+ volumeSnapshotClassName: zfspv-snapclass
+ source:
+ persistentVolumeClaimName: csi-zfspv
+```
+
+Apply the snapshot.yaml
+
+```
+$ kubectl apply -f snapshot.yaml
+volumesnapshot.snapshot.storage.k8s.io/zfspv-snap created
+```
+
+Please note that you have to create the snapshot in the same namespace where the PVC is created. Check the created snapshot resource, make sure readyToUsefield is true, before using this snapshot for any purpose.
+
+```
+$ kubectl get volumesnapshot.snapshot
+NAME AGE
+zfspv-snap 2m8s
+```
+```
+$ kubectl get volumesnapshot.snapshot zfspv-snap -o yaml
