Hi everyone,
I want to use ZFS on my MacBook Pro 13" with Dual 1 TB-SSD (instead of superdrive) and as I understand it the Mac cannot boot from ZFS, so would it be practical to use ZFS for home folder data on the boot drive with a mirror ZFS partition on the second SSD?
How would I most practically partition /format the drives?
It's about 700 GB user data on the home folder.
Next question: if I use ZFS and HFS+ how do I backup everything? Would that work best with TimeMachine or Carbon Copy Cloner, or what?
right now I am using Time Machine on a Time Capsule for hourly backups over the network and a USB disk with TM and Carbon Copy Cloner. So in case of a problem I could just replace the drive and have TimeMachine restore the complete data / disk.
