I'm new to both FreeBSD and ZFS and need some guidance. The only way I = could get zfs to work was by installing FreeBSD directly on a freebsd-ZFS file system, which isn't supported by default by sysinstall. I had to run the zfsinstall.sh script which creates the freebsd-ZFS file system and = compiles freeBSD. Whenever If I used the standard install (UFS file system), I would = always get an "unsupported file system" error whenever I tried to kldload = zfs.ko. Is there away to install FreeBSD on the standard UFS file system and = then use the other disks on the server for ZFS? I would appreciate any hints.
