convert ufs to zfs

[douglasfim]

I found it very complicated to install FreeBSD ZFS.

How do I convert UFS to ZFS?

Anyone have installation script for ZFS?

My Desktop has
4GB memory
HD 160GB to Windows7
HD 2TB: (300GB) for FreeBSD and the rest for my files (NTFS).
2.8GHz Athlon II, installed FreeBSD amd64.

What is the advantage of using ZFS?

Do not install a ZFS filesystem unless and until you know the benefits and drawbacks. After that, if you think you want or need ZFS, the easiest way to install root on ZFS is still likely to be the PC-BSD install.

The FreeBSD wiki includes a step by step installation guide for commoon setups e.g. 2way mirror.

Yes, and also remember:
