My server insists on trying to install non-existant pools at boot. I came across this old post from 2013. The last 2 posts in that thread say that /boot/zfs/zpool.cache should be a symlink to /data/zfs/zpool.cache. But in my case it isn't. It looks like corrective action is needed, but I'm not...

Hi, tl;dr - Can you import a RAID-Z1 pool in a degraded state in read-only mode? Is this safe? I'm migrating a large (around 20TB) of data from one FreeNAS machine to another. Both machines are running FreeNAS 11. The old machine is RAID-Z1, with 4 x 8TB drives. The new machine is RAID-Z1...
