That should work. Just keep in mind that blocks written before you enable compression won't be compressed. So you may want to create a _new_ ZFS for src (and ports if it already exists as well) after your source upgrade, then copy the contents of /usr/src over to it. (Then update the mountpoints as desired, etc.) JN _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
