[zfs-discuss] Changing from ZFS back to HFS+
Hi All, Since switching to ZFS I get a lot of ?beach balls?. I think for productivity sake I should switch back to HFS+. My home directory was on this ZFS parition. I backed up my data to another drive and tried using Disk Utility to select my ZFS partition, un-mount it and format just that partition HFS+. This failed. I manually unmounted my ZFS Partition using zfs unmount and it unmounted but Disk Utility still gives an error. Can I do this or am I looking at re-partitioning the whole drive and starting from scratch with Leopard, BootCamp partition and an HFS+ partition for my data? Or, is a new release coming out that might relieve me of some of these issues? Thanks, -Jason -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This is primarily a list for OpenSolaris ZFS - OS X is a little different ;) However, I think you need to do a ''sudo zpool destroy [poolname]'' from Terminal.app Be warned, you can''t go back once you have done this!
