To ZFS or not to ZFS, THAT is the question :-) (self.unraid)

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’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?

[–] binhex 2 points 1 year ago

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!
