Hi, moving from ufs to zfs ufsdump-on-ufs --> ufsrestore within zfs is possible to run. I also tried it and it worked for my 2.6 GB Home directory very well. Does anyone see any issues ? -- Detlef

Does anyone see any issues ? >Ufsrestore uses the standard unix/posix API when restoring files, and is fs-agnostic. This should be ok. This in contrast to ufsdump, which needs the raw disk device, and knowledge about the ufs internals. Cheers, Henk

Does anyone see any issues ?ufsdump can''t write ACLs to ZFS yet. there is an open RFE for this, but I can''t seem to find it right now. otherwise I haven''t had any problems with this approach. grant.

Thanks to all who reaponded. ufsdump/ufsrestore seems to be a good combination to migrate filesystem from ufs to zfs. I also tried by myself and it worked fast and easy. - be careful with posix-acl, that are existing in ufs Detlef Mark Shellenbaum wrote:> grant beattie wrote: >> On Mon, Jun 19, 2006 at 01:37:55PM +0200, Detlef Drewanz wrote: >> >>> Hi, >>> moving from ufs to zfs ufsdump-on-ufs --> ufsrestore within zfs is >>> possible to run.
