ZFS goodies
===========
My wife recently wanted to manage family photos. They are on

it is not going to be mounted automatically. Perhaps it's

will do the job:
# zpool import -a

# zfs unmount <my_backup>
Unlike root home directory is accessible to normal user so
let's change the mountpoint
# zfs set mountpoint=/home/normie/my_backup
# chown -R normie:normie /home/normie/my_backup
This will make all files and dirs accessible to my wife.
Is it a good idea, though?
