• Check for the disks you want to setup with zfs using by-id:

  ls -lh /dev/disk/by-id/
  

• Create the mount point for your pool:

  sudo mkdir /mnt/mediapool
  

• Create the ZFS pool with your drives:

  sudo zpool create -m /mnt/mediapool -o ashift=12 mediapool mirror ata-ST12000NM0127_ZJV62WXW ata-ST12000NM0127_ZJV68GKP
  

• Check the status of the pool:

  zpool status -v
  

• Create the datasets:

  sudo zfs create mediapool/anime
  sudo zfs create mediapool/media-d
  sudo zfs create mediapool/media-b
  sudo zfs create mediapool/films
