Hi! Currently my NAS, build from scratch and based on an Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS, has a ZFS pool with 4 x 4TB disks. After installing FreeNAS, does this ZFS pool will be recognized or I will need to backup, create another ZFS under FreeNAS and rebuild the pool? Thanks. Regards.

I've found dealing with the ReadyNAS 314 device a royal pain ("UnReadyNAS") so when I chanced upon the FreeNAS site I started to wonder if I could install it instead of using the Netgear "RAIDiator OS" (which I now hate). The Netgear device itself looks good and I've got it sitting here, after...
