Of course if there's no sensitive data that needs encryption, you can just boot up into the old format, create a new, non-encrypted dataset and start moving files over. Once done, boot into new format, create an encrypted pool and move files over again. | Of course if there's no sensitive data that needs encryption, you can just boot up into the old format, create a new, non-encrypted dataset and start moving files over.

== | ==Regarding installation of NixOS to ZFS direct from installation media== | ||
According to a [https://discourse.nixos.org/t/install-report-from-new-user/1390/5 | * Users coming to NixOS from other distributions should note that you don’t need to make your own ISO for ZFS support, you can enable it in the existing ISO at run time using the instructions above! ([https://discourse.nixos.org/t/install-report-from-new-user/1390/9 source]) | ||
* It is also possible to build a custom installation ISO supporting ZFS - see [https://nixos.org/nixos/manual/index.html#sec-building-cd creation instructions in the manual]. ([https://discourse.nixos.org/t/install-report-from-new-user/1390/4 source]) | |||
* According to a [https://discourse.nixos.org/t/install-report-from-new-user/1390/5 2018-11-08 post]: ''We had zfs in past in the default installer, but removed it due some people having concerns regarding the license. Realistically I don’t see any company soon to sue us for that. I guess somebody could sneak in an iso image automatically build on travis-ci or so and hope for the best. I would always recommend with zfsonlinux and systemd to use the legacy mounts. Automounts are probablematic until we have a way to inform systemd that orders all the mounts to be aware of the zfs pools.'' | |||
