truenas zpool move from /dev/disk/by-id to gpt partitions as the identifier

[tompianta]

I have created my zpool using cli.

The zpool is using /dev/disk/by-id as identifier.

This somehow is not supported by the gui (that complain a about unassigned disk)

Is it possibile reimport the pool using gpt id ?

best

Not bad per se, just means that there's a disk currently not assigned to any pool. Do you have a spare disk in the system?

Code:

root@truenas[~]# zpool status -v

Nothing out of the ordinary, the pool seems to be working and to be online.

Can you post a screenshot of the GUI part that's confusing you?

I followed this guide.

Howto: migrate data from one pool to a bigger pool

There have been a lot of posts recently about how to move data from one pool to another. Usually it's because folks want to upgrade to a much larger pool and the drive-by-drive resilvering process will take too long. I've recently gone through this as well. Here are the steps that I followed...
