You can use ufsrestore/ufsdump, tar, and cpio to migrate the POSIX-ACLs to ZFS-ACLs. Ian Collins wrote: > Blake wrote: >> Rafael, >>If you are talking just about moving a bunch of data, take a look >> at rsync. I think it will work nicely for moving files from one >> volume to another, preser

Re: [zfs-discuss] Can VirtualBox run a 64 bit guests on 32 bit host

Correct, VirtualBox 2.1 and above will allow a 64 bit VM on top of a 32 bit host OS, but it requires a CPU with AMD-V or VT-x support. Without the CPU virtualization extensions Virtualbox will only allow a 32 bit VM on a 32 bit host OS. For the Athlon64 chip AMD-V will only be present for soc

Re: [zfs-discuss] Virutal zfs server vs hardware zfs server

Harry, The LiveCD for OpenSolaris has a driver detection tool on it - this will let you see if your hardware is supported without touching the installed XP system. A big issue with running a VM is that ZFS prefers direct access to storage. On Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 11:48 PM, Harry Putnam wr

Hi Rafael, The information on that site looks very out-of-date. I will attempt to resolve this problem. Other than using Live Upgrade to migrate a UFS root file system to a ZFS root file system, you can use ufsdump and ufsrestore to migrate UFS data to ZFS file system. Other data migration p
