I posted a few articles in the past on migrating from Raid 1 to Raid 5. This will be my attempt to migrate from a raid 5 system to ZFS.
Setup
sudo apt-add-repository --yes ppa:zfs-native/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-zfs
Validate that the module was load.
sudo modprobe zfs
sudo dmesg | grep ZFS
Expected output should be something along these lines:
[ 824.725076] ZFS: Loaded module v0.6.1-rc14, ZFS pool version 5000, ZFS filesystem version 5
This should get you all you need to create a standard ZFS setup. If you're starting from a clean slate, follow this
guide. I'll follow it as a guide, though my plan is to shift from Raid 5 to ZFS. (Naturally backup, backup, backup....oh and did I mention backup? Okay good).
