So this is my senario. I havent really got into a problem, but I want to change my storage setup. I am currently running FreeNas 9.2.x, with 3 hdd in ZFS (stripe). What I really want to do is to change the setup from ZFS to UFS (because of my low RAM, and as I heard its adviced to not use ZFS then).
My first thought was to take out one hdd at a time, import it into UFS. Fill it up, and then start on the next hdd, untill all hdd is mounted up in UFS. I was thinking of doing the method of selecting the hdd and make it OFFLINE. My question is. What exactly happens when I do this? Does it automatically move the data from this disc to the two others before it makes it offline?
I am quite new to FreeNAS, so I am really scared of doing something I cant undo without loosing my data.
