Oct 1, 2026, 3:30 PM"Techo how serious are you about this migration?" I just got home from Walmart with the 2TB NVMe SSD that will become the NetBSD boot disk.
"Wait WHAT" Yeah I'm just as surprised as you are that you can just walk into a Walmart and buy computer hardware now! Only thing they are missing are motherboards
Oct 1, 2026, 6:50 PMLooks like the current solution is going to be something like:
-Backup EVERYTHING from Storage Barn (my bigass hoarding drive)
-Reformat that to be ZFS
-Move everything back into place
-Backup my Linux root into Storage Barn
-Install NetBSD onto new SSD
I was hoping to try and do something more in-place-y for converting that drive? But when I looked up docs it appears that ZFS wants the entire disk to itself for its pool, so my original plan of "shrink BTRFS volume -> make ZFS volume -> move everything to the ZFS volume -> remove BTRFS volume to reclaim space" wasn't going to work (or if it could have worked, THERE'S NO DOCS FOR IT)
