Q: Move "Service Data" to ZFS volume on OSX server
Hello all,
I would like to move all Service Data to a ZFS volume on an OSX Mavericks Server. This option is situated here :
Server.app -> Your Server -> Settings
and is called "Service Data". As anyone ever done this ? Does it work or do I have to do some manual config every time the server reboots ?

I would be using OpenZFS.
Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

Answering my own question again.
Thanks to a nice gentlement on openzfs forums I got my answer. Open ZFS on mac has an option in the datasets (filesystem) that will mimic hfs behavior : com.apple.mimic_hfs. It is seen by the finder, and the server app, as hfs+. End result is you can now choose that disk to migrate the server data with the server app. It has work without a glich for a few days. Yeah, I have snapshots, compression, and error correction for my emails.
Hope it helps someone.
