At work, we have several machines presently running FreeBSD/amd64
stable/9 @r257221 that are used for building software within a jail.
They currently use UFS2 + soft updates (no journaling).

I am interested in finding out how the behavior of one of these systems
changes if I replace the UFS2 FS where the builds are actually done with
a ZFS FS.

I would prefer to avoid the need to touch the machine(s) for this
exercise, so I'm interested in trying the exercise using the same
hardware -- though possibly configured somewhat differently.

What would be a good place to start my research?  [Caveat: While I've
used UFS longer than ... some readers of this message have been alive,
I've not administered ZFS before.]

Thanks!

Peace,
david
