My brain *really* wants to type the "n" in the "umount" command. I don't type it, but it's like an itch.
Every. Single. Time.
Makes me think it's like this on purpose, like someone had a dark sense of humor.
Great videos by the way, you're very pedagogical.

Bro... I can't thank you enough for this. 20 years in the IT world and just getting into ZFS. It's been rough.. Until I found this. I love the pausing points for commands, to extra info and everything you displayed.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! Legit helped solve 15+ issues I was having you rock!

Thanks so much for the detailed video. This is the third video I watched to figure out how disk formatting and mounting works in Linux, and yours was the one that finally helped me figure it out. Thanks for all your awesome content!

A large thank you! As a newbie, you go slow enough for me to understand and feel comfortable working with the terminal.
