Switch from full to embedded

Hi Guys,

sorry if this was possibly already asked many times, I have some quick questions:
Is it possible to switch from "Full" to "Embedded" keeping all settings and Extensions?
I have currently ZFS kerneltune, MiniDLNA and Extended GUI installed as extension.

Where is the config file stored at Embedded install?

And, if I just change the mainboard to a different typ, will it just work with "Clear config and import discs"?
Or do I have to do an fresh installation to get it running?

Thanks in advance,
Crowi

yes for ZFSkerntune values ( not extension), yes for MiniDLNA, and I do not know for Extended GUI.

but please test it, you only need to save your actual config.
2 - shutdown and detach actual full boot disk.
reboot and do a fresh embeded install on a USB key, restore your previosly saved config, and test what work and what do not work.


If do not work, you only need to re-atach full boot disk

yes for full install and ZFS ( at least for me in 2 Mainboard changes) I sucesfully use the originall ZFS pool and only need to impor pool from WebGUI, and have all services config when import config ( SAMBA Shares, Transmission config, TheBrig and jails, etc...).
