Hello all!
Now I use openSUSE 11.3 and he fully satisfy me. But I have problems with drivers for my RAID HBA (drivers did not to be compiled on 2.6.36 or higher kernel) and want to migrate to PC-BSD. Now I testing PC-BSD on my computer and have some problems with disk array.
I use
HighPoint RocketRAID 2640X4 HBA for RAID5 disk array. My partitions:
|
Code:

# parted -l
Model: HPT DISK_8_0 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 1000GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags

I need to install PC-BSD but in /home partition (sda7, reiserFS) I have
~630 GiB of UNBACKUPPED data and I not have purposes to backup it. I convert /home partition (sda7, reiserFS) from ext4 to ReiserFS 2 years ago using Gparted by <shrink-grow-copy> loop algorithm (1 week of CPU time need) 2 years ago and I may to repeat this again. But I can not find methods for resizing UFS or ZFS partitions...
Objective:
- What filesystem is faster: UFS or ZFS?
- What filesystem is highly supported in PC-BSD 9 (rw support): ext2; ext3; ext4; jfs; xfs
- Why is optimal way to install PC-BSD on my array and mount existing /home partition (sda7, reiserFS) to PC-BSD?
PS: I am sorry for my little english...
