OS disk migration HD>SSD

[jeje91m]

Hi,

I've receveid a 32G Sandisk SSD, so I would to use it for Nas4Free.
Today, I've 3 disk, a 250Go for Nas4Free (os, swap, and jail), and a ZFS mirror with 2x3To

How I can migrate to SSD ? Is this list the correct guide ?

1) Export ZFS Pool
2) Export Nas4Free configuration
3) Install Nas4Free on SSD
4) Import configuration
5) Import ZFS Pool

Thanks a lot for your help !
Best regards

is correct, but two more points:
6) once installed N4F on SSD , mount and format second partition of SSD Disk (in UFS)
7) mount temporary old boot disk and copy jail folder to new second partition of SSD

Test that all works as expected.

PD: When you install N4F on SSD you do not need all disk , 4 to 8 GB are enought for all packages that you want to install, so the rest is usefull to use for jails , temp files, Torrent folder, etc...

I've installed a Full installation on a 60GB SSD I wasn't sure what size to pick on the partition but I went for 1043 Meg and a swapfile of 11993 Meg. I see in your post you recomend 4 to 8 GB so I probobly have to redo it. But about this second partion how do i mange to do that? Do I go for a MBR partition in disk managment and UFS file sytem? Do I shose "Partition number 3"? and then just formating the disk? And how do I know that I dont over whrite the swap partion and the partion that the nas4free is on?

This is the precent setup.

Reinstalled and now N4F 12GB, Swap none. I have mounted Partition 2 with MBR and UFS. Missed that it already was formated at install.
