Importing ZFS on Linux Pool

[chrispeden]

Hey guys, been a long time ZFS and FreeNAS user. I also have used ZFS on ubuntu 14.04 for a few years but now I want to convert that system over to FreeNAS. Can anyone give me a best practices way to import the pool from my ubuntu install? Thanks in advance.

Providing you haven't used any features specific to ZFS on Linux, you should be able to import the volume with no issues. Issues will arise if you have used features in ZoL. In most cases, the pool will mount but only as read-only.

If you just want to move the data, you can use zfs send and zfs recv to send data from one ZFS filesystem to another.

Im not using anything other than standard features I believe. LZ4 compression and custom mount points is the only things I have set specific as far as I know.
