Is zfs supported in any way? #38

Closed cworkschris closed 3 years ago

It seems like for sure it is not officially supported, but some people seem to think it would work.

Can y'all explicitly clarify this?

Thanks for the awesome project - I hope to use it (I didn't realize before getting into zfs that it would be impossible to downsize!)

I have never tested converting zfs, so there may be unexpected issues - from relatively harmless, such as fstransform executing fsck with the wrong options, to serious ones such as corrupting the filesystem.

Having said that, it may work, but I would not risk my data on that

Fair enough! Thanks for letting me know!
