Hi,
I would like to migrate everyting I have in a RAID-Z1 to a new RAID-Z2 with more disks.
Must preserve snapshots, exports, extents, Windows ACLs, etc..
What is the best/quick way to do this?
Thanks

I have successfully sent my target dataset to a different server, together with all snapshots, using:
Code: Select all
nas1: ~# zfs send -R pool2/dataset2@latest | ssh nas2 zfs recv -vd pool1
One thing remaining is the ability to check the "previous versions" from windows explorer - although the auto snapshots are there, they don't seem visible to windows.
What could I be missing?

I have found the problem.
The destination share was initially created with some extra auxiliary parameters, wich were overriding N4F default behaviour.
I had this in the auxiliary parameters:
I simply removed that extra config and after save the parameter was set by N4F correctly:
I have found this while browsing /var/etc/smb.conf on a working system and noticed the configuration difference.
Hope it helps someone..

This post was very helpful to resolve an issue I had with Previous Versions client not showing any previous versions although the CIFS share was properly configured and autosnapshots were present. Once I made this change I was able to get my previous versions. Thank you!
