Hi All,
I need to move several datasets to a new pool on the same server that are currently being accessed via NFS shares.
I was planning to setup a replication task to the new pool/dataset and then perform a cold cutover once the data has copied.
My question: Can I remap the NFS shares on TrueNAS to the new pool/dataset for cutover? I have previously achieved a similar thing with SMB shares as I could edit the directory that the SMB share points to. I'm assuming that this can't be done for NFS shares which implies that I need to change the NFS mounts on every NFS client as opposed to doing it once on the TrueNAS machine :(
EDIT: The only way I can think to do this is to symlink the new pool/dataset to the old pool/dataset assuming that you can rename the old pool/dataset. Doesn't feel like a good option.
Cheers,
Simon.
