ZFS migrate data TrueNAS

Catsrules@lemmy.ml to datahoarder@lemmy.mlEnglish · 1 year ago

I just ordered 6 16TB drives to upgrade my 8 4TB drives.

My server doesn’t have any more room for expansion.

My Question is what is the best way to replace the 8 4TB drive with the new 6 16TB drives?

I was thinking of setting up a secondary server put the 6 16TB drives in that and copy the data over. Then just remove the 8 4TB pool and swap the drives around then add the 6 6TB pool.

However I am guessing this method might screw up my shares and settings I have on the existing pool.

Any ideas? Thanks

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data – legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they’re sure it’s done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we’re trying really hard not to forget.
