# ZFS {#sec-zfs-state}
|
||||
|
||||
When using ZFS, `/etc/zfs/zpool.cache` should be persistent (or a symlink to a persistent
|
||||
location) as it is the default value for the `cachefile` [property](man:zpoolprops(7)).
|
||||
|
||||
This cachefile is used on system startup to discover ZFS pools, so ZFS pools
|
||||
holding the `rootfs` and/or early-boot datasets such as `/nix` can be set to
|
||||
`cachefile=none`.
|
||||
|
||||
In principle, if there are no other pools attached to the system, `zpool.cache`
|
||||
does not need to be persisted; it is however *strongly recommended* to persist
|
||||
it, in case additional pools are added later on, temporarily or permanently:
|
||||
|
||||
While mishandling the cachefile does not lead to data loss by itself, it may
|
||||
cause zpools not to be imported during boot, and services may then write to a
|
||||
location where a dataset was expected to be mounted.
