Hi,

I can't think of a reason what would work better/worse with UFS vs ZFS on a microSD card. There probably are arguments to make for both filesystems. Just don't expect too much performance of the SD card in both situations.
Try and see what works for you. And always make a backups. Which is pretty easy with "zfs send"!

Ronald.
