FreeNAS 8.3.1 to NAS4Free 9.3.1

[Doug183]

I have been using FreeNAS 8.3.1 with a 10 drive RaidZ2 for over a year now, and overall it works, but it doesn't give me serial numbers of the drives, which is very frustrating. I want to move over to NAS4Free which I have seen does pass this information. I have installed NAS4Free it on a new USB stick on my old hardware, and as I look through the interface, I do not see an "import" Zpool option. I see Import disks, but not Zpool. I am guessing this is probably the option. However, this Zpool is 20TB and I have 2 more like it. I do not want to be guessing the export/import process. So…?

Is there a step by step guide to accomplish this.

Is there anything I have to do to export the Zpool out of FreeNAS?

Thanks
Doug

use, from the shell

Code: Select all

zpool export poolname

on FreeNAS first

Then you can try the following at NAS4free:
- go to Disks | Management and click on "clear config and import disks"
- then go to Disks|ZFS|Configuration|Detected and check if your Pool is already detected
- if it is detected go to Disks|ZFS|Configuration|Synchronize and synchronize the Pool
- if it is not detected you can go to the shell and use

Code: Select all

zpool import -F poolname
