The simplicity of FreeBSD really shines here. I recently performed the same task with Ubuntu 24.04. It seemed daunting due to various Linux-isms and Canonical’s anemic public documentation. Warp terminal got the job done. It blew through half a month’s tokens on the Build subscription tier. With FreeBSD, the task fits very nicely into just a short blog post.

Nice. Not so much a FreeBSD as a ZFS feature?

    Its both actually.

    This is strictly the FreeBSD part:

        freebsd # gpart backup ada1 | gpart restore nda0
        
        freebsd # gpart backup ada1 | gpart restore nda1
    
    The ZFS part comes later :)
