I currently have 10tb of data on an NTFS windows system and I would like to
move it to ZFS on open solaris, without having to buy an extra 10TB to do the
transfer. If anyone has a method for doing this I would really appreciate any
help.

1st thx for the quick response.
Current config is windows XP with 8 seprate non raided 1.5TB sata NTFS drives
My backup data is stored on another server with hardware raid 5 and FreeNas
this wont come into the equation.
I currently dont have a opensolaris install. The current does and donts of t
with 2tb of empty drives to use as virgin raid-z. And 8 seprate full 1.5tb NTFS
drives that are in no way linked mirrored raided. What would be my best data
migration strategy?
I also apologise if this comes across noobish, but the fact is thats what I am
when it comes to this.
And once again t
Ok so this is my solution, pls be advised I am a total linux nube so I am
learning as I go along. I installed opensolaris and setup rpool as my base
install on a single 1TB drive. I attached one of my NTFS drives to the system
then used a utility called prtparts to get the name of the NTFS drive
Just for clarity 90% of my stuff is media mostly AVI's or MKV's so I dont think
that compresses very well.
