Howto Convert a filesystem from Veritas to ZFS?

Hi Folks,

Looking for info here more than any actual HowTo, does anyone know if there is an actual way of converting a Veritas or UFS filesystem to ZFS leaving the resident data intact.

All that I have been able to find, including the commercial products seem to require the FS backed up from the server and then restored to it.

If anyone knows of a clever doohickky thingy that will convert as against backup and restore, I'd like to know about it.

Regards

Dave Munro
