Hi
Read the guides, followed a bunch of tutorials but everything seems to deal with a from scratch setup with new disks, etc. I am upgrading from 9.3 and I have two mirrored RAID disks that contain all my media and backups. Since they total over 2 TB simply moving them off to another storage and back again isn't an option - I need to preserve them and set them up in the new Freenas 11.3 world. I know that's possible - I imported the disks and I can see them (see screenshot below) but I don't think I have done everything correctly here. First it has created this iocage dataset which I presume happened during setup? When I am trying to install plugins like plex I am running into problems with jails and I think it's because my source and my jail are on the same volume??? When I look at creating new volumes etc it starts talking about clearing all the existing data and I don't want that.
Can anyone offer any resources / tutorials they can point me to that might walk me to this. I'm not completely new to this but I also don't have an in depth understanding of pools / volumes and am trying to educate myself. Anything you can direct me to would be helpful. (I have obviously read the freenas documentation but can't relate it to the setup I am using …)
Appreciate your guidance and support.
