Migrating ZFS from Linux to FreeBSD

ZFS on Linux might get a lot of the latest features, and with a distribution like Arch Linux you have the bleeding edge, but it makes great sense to migrate everything ZFS related to FreeBSD. On FreeBSD ZFS is a first class citizen. This means that you don't have to worry about hostile kernel commits that suddenly breaks ZFS, or kernel modules that has to be re-compiled every time the kernel is updated. Being a first class citizen also means that the entire operating system is tailored to work really well with ZFS. The installer makes it really easy to get ZFS on root, with support for all the different possible configurations, and all the relevant tools know about ZFS, even the 'top' commando shows the memory usage of the ZFS ARC! https://unixsheikh.com/tutorials/migrating-zfs-from-linux-to-freebsd.html
