Migration FreeNAS 7.2 -> 8.0 with SoftRaid

[gentoomaniac]

Hi all,

I'm currently having a bit troublewith migrating to FreeNAS 8.0

I have a SoftRaid 5 with 4x1,5 TB Disks and UFS FS.

Curtrently I'm working on a VM and build up a similar setup.However, when I try to import the volumes, they are not shown in the GUI. Is it possible to import a softraid?

As I'm running out of space, I will need to add a bunch of new disks, so if nothing works, I could just add a ZFS pool in FreeNAS 7.2 and use it for the migration.
For that I would need another SATA controller. Which one is best for this purpose? (~100Eur max, sure Smartarray etc. would be nice, but it's also a lot of money ^^)

Cheers!

Ok, I did a bit more testing on that:

- blank UFS disk works fine
- ZFS as expected: fine

- GEOM Mirror with 2 disks is not displayed in the importer
- GEOM Stripeset with 2 disks is displayed but gives an error "The selected disks were not verified for this import rules."

Any suggestions?


//EDIT: according to the IRC, no RAID5 support for migration :( Topic done :((
