It requires different thinking than traditional partitions/ slices, volumes, filesystems, etc.. I suggest that you build a FreeBSD VM, give it an extra disk, and play with ZFS. When you think you understand how to create, use, modify, and destroy pools, datasets, properties, and snapshots, add another disk, create another pool, and play with replication. Then you will understand whether or not ZFS makes sense for your systems and operations/ maintenance/ disaster preparedness procedures. David
