Hi all....so, a bit of background...I WAS a big Synology User, but their crazy hardware lockdown threats made me dump them. I currently have Truenas Scale running on a Ugreen 8bay nas. However, I just bought and installed a Truenas mini-R 12 bay nas for my rack.
Before everyone asks why not build my own or stick to the Ugreen....simple, The Truenas Mini-R is a good hybrid between ready built off the shelf nas with Truenas flexibility. I wanted the 12 bays but the assurance that "everything just worked" hardware wise...so, there you go.
Now to my question. Keep in mind the 8 bay nas is running 8 14TB drives and I don't have enough spares of those to populate the new server and replicate the data.
I want to run Goldeye on the new one, but I don't want to have to upgrade the Ugreen running Fangtooth to Goldeye first, unless I have to.
So, can one simply export the pool from an old Fangtooth (current updates done) to a Goldeye machine or are there enough changes to the ZFS software in Goldeye that this is not advisable or wouldn't take advantage of the current or upcoming ZFS upgrades?
I am also aware I'll need to export the config and import it to the new one....here again, will this work going from Fangtooth to Goldeye?
Thanks in advance for help!
Edit: Thanks u/UnderEu for reminding me it's Goldeye and not Goldeneye... :) Can't seem to edit title, though...so it's stuck there.
