Migrate RaidZ1 from FreeNAS 11.2 to 12.0

[Junicast]

Hi,
on a testing machine of mine I installed FreeNAS 12 Master (201908310643) onto a new disk. I wanted to import my decryted disks from 11.2.
Everything is happening on one machine (i7 2600 / 16 GB RAM / H77-DS3H Gigabyte and four SATA disks).
When I boot into 11.2 my Volume is shown as healthy.
When I boot into FreeNAS 12 and try to import the disks only one is shown in the dropdown menu, i.e. ada3p2. The volume consists of ada0, ada1, ada2 and ada3.
Do I have to detach on the old System first?

If FN12 isn't too different from 11.x in this regard, you'd need to import the pool, not the disks.

Sorry for my bad wording. That's what I'm trying to do, import the pool. During this process you need to select the disks though.
I forgot to mention, that I I recover my old config from 11.2 and uploaded into 12.0, too.
See screenshots for more details.
I will install 11.2U5 instead and look if it'll work.

no, you dont select the disks

Encrypted pool... And only one disk is showing up in the drop-down... Do the disks show up elsewhere? Are they actually good? Does the process work as normal in 11.2? If the answer is yes, file a bug report and post a link here.

I just installed FreeNAS 11.2U5 with exactly the same procedure as when I tried 12.0.
1. Install
2. Restore config
3. Reimport pool

When I reimport the pool with 11.2 I first need to detach it in order to reimport. That's fine, yeah, but not in the given FreeNAS 12.0 in which I am simply not able to detach the pool via WebGUI. That seems to be the actual problem. Well I will just stick then with 11.2 for the time being. Hope this might be of help for having a great 12.0 release. Looking forward to it.

Edit:
I filed a bug.

Out of curiosity, why are you trying 12? That is at least a year away and in pre-pre-alpha mode at the moment.

If I were trying it out, it would be to test the support for h265 hardware acceleration for Plex or a similar media server. Most HW acceleration needs FreeBSD12 as a minimum.

BTW, if the poster is looking to mess around with that, here's another good thread for reference:

I didn't know it was pre-alpha but since it was available as a download I gave it a try.
This H265 would actually be interesting for me but that's not the reason. The possibility to have FreeBSD 12 jails would be the most interesting for me.
