Import ZFS pool from Nas4Free to Freenas?

[oleost]

Hello, want to convert to Freenas again and try, currently I have a Nas4free setup with 3 ZFS disks, is there any easy way to convert to Freenas?

Depending upon the pool version and layout, you might be able to auto-import the pool. You will have to re-do all of the other configuration though. A quick test is to burn a stick with the latest release, boot into it, and see if it recognizes the existing pool in Storage -> Volumes -> Auto Import Volume.

I'm in a similar situation with a client. Has anyone tried this? Existing system is Nas4Free 9.1.0.1 based. I believe the ZFS versions are the same between it and the current FreeNas release.

I had to move to NAS4Free for one box (failed motherboard, didnt have anything to handle 8+gb of ram on hand). It worked fine going to NAS4Free. I can only imagine it will work fine coming back the other way. Make sure you backup first!

Update:

First you must export your pool on nas4free. So it will success. :D

Type on your console

Code:

zpool export -f [poolname]
