Disconnect pool with hidden system files

[maxw]

I want to clear a pool of disks and re-use them. The pool is pool 1 in the build, and 'zfs list' shows a hidden directory named system, with configs and syslog in it. Do I need to move that directory somewhere else before detaching the pool?

in the UI => system => system dataset you can move it

No, FreeNAS will automatically move it when you detach the pool but you will loose the history that was in those files. You do need to select a new location. I have my boot pool on mechanical disks and use the boot pool to host those files. It works well for me because it keeps that activity out of my data pool.

Thanks for the replies!

I relocated them as the pool disconnection does not give options for a new path. Perhaps that dialog comes up after you so Go?
