Yes, but it's probably not worth the effort. Easier to spin up 2nd vm and
copy everything over. Here is what you'd have to do:
1) shrink the root filesystem with resizefs.
2) shrink it's partition with gpart. If it's not the last partition on the
disk, then you'll have to relocate the last
Hi
[context is freebsd-12R-p3]
Is it possible to convert a running freebsd guest from UFS to ZFS?
It would need to be done in-situ, in the guest as there is no access to
the host.
The guest filesystem is:
/dev/gpt/rootfs / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/gpt/swapfs noneswap
