Can i shrink and partition a zfs disk?

[Someone]

Hello, i have FreeBSD installed in a zfs disk, and i want to shrink the filesystem and make a new partition to install some non-systemd Linux distro for gaming.
Also any suggestions of bootloader (i wave windowns 10 (or 11 dont remember) in a disk and want to boot FreeBSD and Linux from the other zfs disk. Thanks.

Yes, you can, but it's complex. Nothing in zfs commands is designed for that (conversely, it's easy to make the filesystem grow).

I did that once for a Virtualbox VM. I used zfs send and receive, IIRC. I added a receiver disk to the VM, so I don't know if it's applicable in your case. If noone propose a solution, I will post my procedure after my dayjob, if this can inspire you.

Thanks, if no responses post it if you find the time. Thank you.
