Anybody planning on switching their drives from XFS to ZFS?, I am mulling the idea over whilst the bugs get ironed out on 6.12, I think I MIGHT go for it on my cache drives first, see how that goes, if it seems solid then I would go for the rolling conversion technique on my array drives, anybody else got any plans for ZFS use?.
I’m slowly migrating shares to ZFS. gonna start with the domains share, then system and appdata. There the only shares I have that live completely on the cache. Just gonna make sure things don’t blow up.
I’ll probably wait for SpaceInvaderOne to explain to me why it’s a good idea!
He already did it in his new videos

I have already migrated my cache pools to ZFS and I’m happy with the snapshots!
LOL, fair enough.
Do you know if you can convert an existing array over?
I don’t think it’s possible to do an in place switch of filesystem, and even if you could would you trust it? I personally wouldn’t.
You can. Follow the two new SpaceInvaderOne videos!
