Hi,
I am going to install FreeBSD 11.2 into my desktop which is more than 6 years old. While I was selecting the filesystem, ZFS is recommended - but not sure if 6 gigs of non-ecc RAM enough. I have no issues to use UFS2, but in case of a power outage, I'm not sure if UFS is really a good choice for recovery. Will UFS recover with a manual fsck and is it enough for such a low end system.
The hard drive has a Windows 10 and Devuan Linux Ascii installations in UEFI mode. So, EFI partition is pre-existing.
