 Answer script questions about desired hostname and ZFS ARC cache size.

 To cope with network failures its higly recommended to run the commands above inside screen console, type `man screen` for more info.
 Example of screen utility usage:
-
-````bash
-export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 && screen -S zfs
+````
+screen -S zfs
 ````
 To detach from screen console, hit Ctrl-d then a
 To reattach, type `screen -r zfs`

 Upon succesfull run, the script will reboot system, and you will be able to login into it, using the same SSH key you have used within rescue console

-Please note that the drives you intend to format can not be in use,
-you can execute `mdadm --stop --scan` before running the script to halt default software raid operations.
