I have a test system disk is as follows
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ada0s1a 2.9G 655M 2.0G 24% /
devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev
/dev/ada0s1d 9.7G 2.3G 6.6G 26% /var
/dev/ada0s1e 19G 4.5G 13G 25% /usr
/dev/ada0s1f 415G 27G 354G 7% /home
I would like to add zfs and define a pool to be /dev/ada0s1f. Possible? It seems
if I allow root ssh (no console/monitor/keyboard), edit fstab to remove
/dev/ada0s1f and reboot the following might work:
zpool create zdata /dev/ada0s1f
and that would hopefully leave the data there. Or does partition need to be
empty? The goal here is just to make something with a minimum of change I can
use to test and learn on.
