Example Playbook

---
- name: ZFS + Pool
  hosts: all
  vars:
    zfs_mirror_disks:  # see NOTE below
      - /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD120EFBX-ABCDEFG_12345678

  roles:
    - name: zfs_dkms  # this role, installs/builds ZFS
      vars:
        zfs_dkms_arc_pct_max: 33
  tasks:
    - name: "Pool (mirror, 'rust')"  # see also: 'community.general.zfs'
      when: zfs_mirror_disks is defined
      community.general.zpool:
        name: rust
        pool_properties:
          ashift: 12
        filesystem_properties:
          compression: lz4
        vdevs:
          - type: mirror
            disks: "{{ zfs_mirror_disks }}"  # reminder: see NOTE below
      become: true

NOTE: Not recommended to inline zfs_mirror_disks, zfs_dkms_arc_pct_max, or pool/filesystem properties. Values are expected to be unique among hosts [or groups].
Use the inventory or host/group vars instead.

Help

Package not found (Fedora)

DNF may fail to find packages on Fedora when the kernel is not supported by ZFS. Previously-installed kernels, or LTS [from third-parties/COPR], may be advisable until the latest 'stable' is supported.
