i am migrating a linux fileserver to freenas zfs, and have have a couple fundamental questions
my linux LVM was setup with 19 different Logical Volumes. EX: music, movies, downloads, home etc..
when moving this data to ZFS should i be putting in into zvol's or datasets?
should i keep everything separate or put all into one?
I only have 2 of the 3 physical disks at this time for my destination zpool. i created the raidz zpool with 2 active 3TB disks and 1 member which was a 3TB sparse file. then took the sparsefile device offline. I plan on adding the read disk soon. When i created the zpool via the command line, i didn't setup encryption via geli. I am considering using encryption, but wondering about what kind of hindrance if any it will have on the zfs functionally / flexibility ? If i decide to start over and add that layer of crypto i will be doing so via the command line, any good pointers on a howto?
thanks
