I picked up a new computer with better specs and want to transfer my drives over... one of the drives has FreeNAS on it and I would like to bring that one over as well. Is it as simple as just moving the drives to the new machine and turning it on? Or will I run into issues?
These are the drives I have in there:
1 OS drive (FreeNAS 9.2.1.6)
2x4TB drives running ZFS (Raid 1), with ZVOL to run iSCSI
1x1TB drive
Everything I've searched is for FreeNAS 8.x... where they indicate to export the volumes first (or detach) but of course, a red screen comes up which scares the crap out of me. I'm really new with FreeNAS and admit a lot of it is very technical for me. If there's a better search term I should be using, I'd be happy to use it.
I tried installing a brand new version of FreeNAS onto a USB drive to run on the new machine, but for whatever reason, it keeps crashing to the point where I've flashed the USB drive 3 times now to get it back up and running. Is my best bet to install a fresh version of FreeNAS onto a new drive and bring the volumes over with the config export?
Thanks in advance!
Rick
