Ok, this is probably a very basic question, but I want to be 110% sure I get this right and don't corrupt my existing data.
I'm attempting to migrate my 5.5TB ZFS storage array from an OpenSolaris OS to a NAS4Free build. I have NAS4Free installed on a USB key and booting successfully, I just need a bit of help figuring out how to import my existing array without any data loss.
If I log in via SSH and issue a "zfs import" I can see my array, but if I attempt to manage it through the UI... I don't even see my disks.
I'm guessing I need to import the disks via the disk management UI and then I will be allowed to import the pool via the UI... but I don't want to do anything without knowing what I'm doing is correct. So can someone give me some reassurance or (even better) a step-by-step?
Thanks!
