UFS to ZFS Data Migration Best Practices

  • Do not mix UFS directories and ZFS file systems in the same file system hierarchy because this model is confusing to administer and maintain.

  • Do not mix NFS legacy shared ZFS file systems and ZFS NFS shared file systems because this model is difficult to maintain. Consider using only ZFS NFS shared file systems.

  • Use the shadow migration feature to migrate existing UFS data over NFS to ZFS file systems.
