Hi
I have a couple of Linux VM's and I believe the drives their zvols are stored on may be failing. These are SSD and they pass all the regular SMART based read tests so write tests will be needed in order to verify that they still work. However I was wondering how I can move the zvol's to another pool before I start running write tests.
I checked the manual but I couldn't find any scenario like this that was described there. Neither did google help much as the answers all went deep into virtualization discussions straight away. And that's not really relevant as I don't need to copy the entire machine and just need the virtual disks so I can hook them up to a newly configured machine with similar specs. Basically following the same approach that I would use if I had to reinstall Freenas.
