Hi,
As I found out via another thread in this forum I will have to reinstall my server as I want to upgrade from 7.2 i386 to 8.0 AMD64.
Now I want to change my partitioning design a little and am thinking to configure the system as follows:
/boot => UFS filesystem
/var => UFS filesystem
/usr => UFS filesystem
SWAP => SWAP partition
/usr/storage => ZFS filesystem
I was thinking to have the UFS filesystems mirrored using gmirror and the ZFS filesystem having mirrored via the ZFS builtin RAID functionality.
Is it easily possible to do it this way?
Im very new to ZFS but want to try it. I understood that you create a container and "assign" drives/partitions to it. Is this correct? So I would create 3 slices, one for swap, one for the UFS/gmirrored partitions and one for ZFS.
This is possible or what do you recommend?
Thanks a lot for your help!
