Hello everyone,

I just plugged a set of new drives into my nas and wanted to dump my original pool consisting of a stripe of 3 internals drives into the newly made pool (4 drives stripe)

I've read the topic and started as described but when i'm trying to replicate the pool using the CLI, i'm getting some errors. I'm clueless.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Code:
[root@freenas ~]# zfs send -R Storage@migrate | zfs receive Temp				
WARNING: could not send Storage/media@migrate: does not exist				  
cannot receive new filesystem stream: destination 'Temp' exists				
must specify -F to overwrite it												
warning: cannot send 'Storage@auto-20161010.1505-2w': signal received		  
warning: cannot send 'Storage@migrate': Broken pipe							
cannot send 'Storage': I/O error

Did you take a snapshot first?

Yes, i did :

zfs snapshot -r Storage@migrate

but then a few subfolders were missing from the snapshot, i did them all one by one manually until the snapshots list shows all my datasets.

Folders do not get snapshots. Only datasets and it's contents which are transparent.

So you ran zfs snapshot -r Storage@migrate? And then you should run
# zfs send -R Storage@migrate | zfs recv backuppool/Temp

I think you just forgot to include the pool name for recv

You're just going to let him go on the "I just made a 4-drive stripe" pool thing?

Sure I enjoy the next thread more where I get to say, "well what did you expect" when all the data is gone.

OP, just for the record, having a "4 drive stripe", on a scale of ZFS mistakes from 1 to 10, is a 9.998, behind only having a "5 drive stripe". I hope that every byte of this data is either disposable, or is well backed up, sir. No offense; we care more about your data than your feelings. :)

I'm the OP. :) Can a mod please split off the @DrMacabre question off into a new thread?
Done. Feel free to just report stuff you'd like moved, it gets brought to our attention more quickly and chances are I'll end up being the first one to react anyway.

Thanks for the tip and for the chuckles. Love the new thread name.
[edit: wait a sec, this thread name is no longer humorous.]
