      I have been trying to format SSD to UFS after discovering ZFS won't work for my application that is to install PFSence 2.4 to a 16GB SSD and use a HDD 320GB to capture log events. Gparted won't or doesn't show UFS.

      Is there an app with GUI to do this?

        Well, I just tried using Solaris 11.3 by installing to VirtualBox then make a disk image of solaris.dvi then used the sudo dd to make a bootable USB…that didn't work...when it got to the login screen, it jumped to start the boot up process again.

        Last night, I tried a bootable USB of the Solaris live CD...it would not boot...I tried the PFSense 2.3 live CD but did have the option to use Terminal...it just have the installer...what a nightmare! I am using Mac...I may try FreeBSD that I have a VDI for.

          I feel relieved and embarrassed that the tool was in my hands all this time…that's how the learning process works, I guess! Wasted all that time searching and researching yesterday!
