Yes, this should work fine, but you'll need to be careful that you don't accidentally overwrite the wrong drive from the installer. Depending on the details of your hardware it's entirely possible that the new drives you add for ZFS could end up as ada0, ada1, ... with your previous drives as ada4 and ada5. Taking out the original ada1 while doing the initial install would be a simple way of avoiding that. ZFS should continue to work just fine as you shuffle the disks around. > Will the installer handle installing root to zfs raidz? or will I have > to wing it? Yes, this will work absolutely fine. The installer can work with any of the different RAID levels provided by ZFS. > Going for a clean install and synth to do the ports. In the long term, you don't want to mix ZFS and UFS in the same system -- the two filesystems will fight over memory. It shouldn't be a problem to do that temporarily while you're copying your data onto ZFS though, so long as you unmount the UFS partitions once you're done.
