Absolutely no way to do that without wiping the data and restoring it from your backup server.
There isn't any in place conversion from NTFS to ZFS, and in any case with those drives you would be highly advised to go for raid-z or raid-z2. You'll end up with less capacity, but far less risk of loosing everything if one drive fails. I don't know what setup you have with those 8 drives, but if you just have them as one big pool it sounds very risky. Since you don't have any redundancy on your current server, there's not even any way to borrow a drive and migrate things that way. My advice would be to take a current backup of everything. Verify the backup to ensure that you absolutely, positively can read every single byte of it, and then install ZFS and bring the data over (robocopy should work fine for that). -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
