Hello list, For other reasons I had to install pc-bsd 10 rather than the regular freebsd on my new desktop. Unfortunately it insisted on installing to the first device which is a ssd (110GB). It makes its own zpool called "tank" and everything gets installed there. Now, while it's great that some stuff is there on the ssd like / /boot and /root /var and /tmp, I'm rather less enamoured that /usr/ports /usr/src and /home are there too. With the hdds in the machine (ada1 ada2 and ada3) I made a raidz array that made 7.2TB usable space. This zpool is called "storage". I'd like to put the not-so-active filesystems on the zpool called "storage". A couple of issues though: 1. /usr/local is not it's own filesystem. Is it a case of just doing a recursive copy on the existing /usr/local into a newly created /storage/usr/local and setting the mountpoint as /usr/local (after deleting the old /usr/local) ? 2. /usr/ports IS it's own filesystem on tank: tank/usr/ports on /usr/ports (zfs, local, nfsv4acls) Can I zfs export this from tank and then zfs import it into storage ? If so, do I need to set a mountpoint? thanks, -- John
