Title: Upgrade to 21.7 with conversion to ZFS
Post by: hunter86_bg on August 22, 2021, 04:33:36 pm

Hi All,

I saw that 21.7 now supports setup of ZFS via the installer.
Do you think that I can reinstall with ZFS and later load my configuration backup ?

Do you see any issues ?

That's what I did and it seems to work fine. Just make sure you have the 21.7.1 install media, because of bugs in the original 21.7 release.

Just to be sure, I upgraded my UFS installation to 21.7.1 first, then did the reinstall to switch to ZFS with the 21.7.1 image, importing my config.
