Hello,
I just built a new Freenas system and I have it running excellently. Its on an old computer with only 3gb of RAM so i used UFS as the filesystem. Well, now that I have everything running smoothly (SABNZB, Sickbeard, Windows Shares, etc.) I woke up this morning to a S.M.A.R.T. alert in my inbox. My drive has uncorrectable sectors. No problem, I have a replacement drive on the way from Seagate as we speak. The problem is how to I migrate my data and settings without having to build it all from scratch again? Of course the drive that is failing is the one that holds my Jail setup, my PBIs and all their directories.
So, how can I seamlessly migrate this data onto the new drive when it arrives and get back in business? I have searched the forums and find lots about ZFS snapshots, but not much about UFS.
Thanks.
