Hi all,
I need to move a filesystem off of one host and onto another smaller
one. The fs in question, with no compression enabled, is using 1.2 TB
(refer). I'm hoping that zfs compression will dramatically reduce this
requirement and allow me to keep the dataset on an 800 GB store. Does
this sound feasible? Can I achieve the move to the new box using zfs
send/receive? If so, how do I do it? Do I turn on compression on the
target host just after I begin the zfs send/receive?
Yes, the easiest way is to turn on compression on the dataset above the
one you will recieve into. For example if you are receving into
tank/home/bob then 'zfs set compression=on home' will ensure that
tank/home/bob inherits the compression setting.
