But I am interested in=20 trying freebsd-zfs. My box has a single hard disk, an SSD with 4 MBR slices= . From what I could gather from the installer, it is not possible to use=20 freebsd-zfs for / for a single slice. It looks to me like ZFS needs the=20 whole disk. Am I wrong ? Is there any way I can get the installer to use ZFS for a=20 single slice. Thanks for any information Manish Jain
