I think I might have made a drastic mistake in my understanding and assumptions of ZFS and truenas.
I wanted to have 4/5 drives as raidz2 and use them for various truenas functions.
Furthermore, I wanted to have a couple of separate individual drives that I would replicate backup data to so that in theory if the whole system broke I could take out one of these single drives (striped pool), connect them to any other computer and at least access what I had backed up on there.
I attempted to do this.
On a Manjaro system i plugged in one of the single drive pools. I kinda struggled to get anything mounted and gain access to the backup files. Eventually I thought I had managed it because the folders were showing but all the files were missing?
I have since put the single drive back into my nas system and it seems fine, all the files in the backup folders are still there.
What have i done wrong?
