Migration to ZFS
Posted: Fri Feb 24, 2017 6:47 am
Hi,
I'm almost after moving to ZFS to have it in place of HFS+ on the boot volume, I know there's wiki 'bout it but it might be not up-to-date (spl is now included e.g. from what I've seen).
My disk layout is as follows:
I have FileVault on and I'd like to retain this but I also wonder - is the helper partition really needed? if so, does it break the security of the FileVault?. I'm quite skilled with computers, just somewhat new to Macs but I've experience with using Terminal in Linux.
Can someone give me assistance on how to do it?
TIA
