I have a question regarding upgrading the hardware on my NAS4Free server.
I'm interested in basically replacing the entire machine, and moving my 6TB ZFS Drive Pool (3 - 2TB drives in Raid 5) to the new machine.
What challenges should I have in doing this?

Re: Hardware Upgrade
Should be as easy as zpool export on the old machine, shutdown, move disks to new machine, zpool import the pool.
