## Overview of RancherOS
---
RancherOS is the smallest, easiest way to run Docker in production. Everything in RancherOS is a container managed by Docker. This includes system services such as `udev` and `syslog`. RancherOS is dramatically smaller than most traditional operating systems, because it only includes the services necessary to run Docker. By removing unnecessary libraries and services, requirements for security patches and other maintenance are dramatically reduced. This is possible because with Docker, users typically package all necessary libraries into their containers.

Another way in which RancherOS is designed specifically for running Docker is that it always runs the latest version of Docker. This allows users to take advantage of the latest Docker capabilities and bug fixes.

#### Using ZFS
#### Creating ZFS pools
After it's installed, it should be ready to use. Make a zpool named `zpool1` using a device that you haven't yet partitioned (you can use `sudo fdisk -l` to list all the disks and their partitions).

To experiment with ZFS, you can create zpool backed by just ordinary files, not necessarily real block devices. In fact, you can mix storage devices in your ZFS pools; it's perfectly fine to create a zpool backed by real devices **and** ordinary files.
#### Using the ZFS debugger utility
The `zdb` command may be used to display information about ZFS pools useful to diagnose failures and gather statistics. By default the utility tries to load pool configurations from `/etc/zfs/zpool.cache`. Since the RancherOS ZFS service does not make use of the ZFS cache file and instead detects pools by inspecting devices, the `zdb` utility has to be invoked with the `-e` flag.
E.g. to show the configuration for the pool `zpool_1` you may run the following command:
> $ sudo zdb -e -C zpool_1
## ZFS storage for Docker on RancherOS
First, you need to stop the`docker` system service and wipe out `/var/lib/docker` folder:
