To set up ZFS on the spinning discs, followed steps derived from these sources (but without encryption):

• https://ipetkov.dev/blog/installing-nixos-and-zfs-on-my-desktop/
• https://cheat.readthedocs.io/en/latest/nixos/zfs_install.html

# DISK=<disk from /dev/disk/by-id>
# POOL=<a name for the pool>
# zpool create "${POOL}" $DISK
# zfs create -o compression=on -o mountpoint=legacy "${POOL}/main"

then added the ZFS filesystem to hardware-configuration.nix (use the zfs created label as the device) and rebooted.

Don't forget to chown the mounted system so that non-root can read/write there.

If your NFS clients are able to mount the store but can't ls it or see any conents, make sure that the store is still, in fact, readable to non-owners!!!
