Hi,
I am dual booting FreeBSD and Ubuntu. I had created a separate home partition for Ubuntu which is Ext4. Since FreeBSD can mount Ext4 in read only mode I want to make it ZFS partition. I have installed ZFS support in Ubuntu.
I have created a new folder in Ubuntu's root partition and then created a new user account with its home in that folder and backed up all my data there. Finally I have temporarily removed the /home entry from Ubuntu's /etc/fstab.
These are my partitions
I want to format ada0s2 which is Ext 4 to ZFS. I don't want to try this myself because if I make a mistake everything may get wiped out.
Please guide me with this.
