Hi all - I have seen a lot of very helpful people in searching for an answer to the following issue. I would like to thank everyone for a positive first impression and hope that someone has an answer for me. I was unable to locate this issue in any previous post - but I may have missed it. I am an old hat at Windows trying to learn something new and thank you for your help and understanding. So...

I have an existing system running Kubuntu 13.10 that I am (loosely) using as a "server". Data is stored on 2 x 2TB HDD's in 4x EXT4 partitions.

I have FreeNAS 9.1.1 x64 installed on another machine with an 80GB drive for the OS - and a single 1TB drive for data. (Just a testing setup - eventually will setup some type of redundancy with 5 x 2TB drives) the rest of the system:
Gigabyte MB with AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 B45 Processor
8GB DDR2 Ram
Using onboard video - everything else disabled.

I want to put the 2 HDD's from the Kubuntu box into the FreeNAS box - but I DON'T want to loose the data. Is this possible? And if possible what is the best way to go about it?

ext4 is not supported in FreeNAS. So no, you can't keep your data.
