Switching to ZFS After System Set Up Using BTRFS?

[PhysicistSarah]

I've played around with BTRFS for a while, but I'm interested in switching to ZFS. How complicated is it to switch filesystems, or should I just re-install Kubuntu?

Yeah, not easy to just move your install to another FS. Besides, ZFS is not in the kernel and not widely supported so good luck.

I'd suggest a new install.

BTW, GreyGeek did a lot of homework for you.

May I ask why you're giving up on BTRFS or what you don't like about it? I did the opposite of you; I tried to use ZFS and switched to BTRFS. BTRFS is an amazing file system so I'm curious what you don't like about it.
