# Storage

First we need to know what drives we have:

```sh
geom disk list
```

Show the partitions:

```sh
gpart show
```

In FreeBSD the partitions are named with suffix `pX`, for example `p1`, `p2`, etc.

To mount the first partition of the external harddrive:

```sh
# directory needs to exist
mkdir /mnt/usb

# mount the first partition p1
mount -t /dev/da0p1 /mnt/usb
```

# ZFS

The handbook is actually quite comprehensive: 

* https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/zfs/

In order for ZFS to work, we need to enable it. On the Raspberry PI it is not enabled by default.

```sh
service zfs enable
service zfs start
```

You need empty space, either an empty partition or drive.

# Mounting different filesystems (for example, a USB SDD)

For ext4, see: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/filesystems/index.html#filesystems-linux

For NTFS, see: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/disks/#using-ntfs

Take into account that NTFS uses "Slices", not "Partitions" so mounting the external NTFS harddrive on the Raspberry PI looks like this:

```sh
ntfs-3g /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usb
```
