Hi
I want to migrate some data from an external disk formated as ext4 to my FreeNAS box (9.10.2-u3). The import functionality of the web ui works fine. However that ui is quite rudimentary. Thus I thought I could just mount the drive myself via cli and then rsync it over with verbose option and progress enabled to see whats is going on (e.g. the eta). As the web interface can somehow copy my disk successfully
I thought that must be simple. I tried
But all without success. But then my questions are. How does FreeNAS itself actually realize that import copy functionality
for ext4 and the like? And can I replicate that on CLI?

kldload fuse
mount -t ext4 /dev/da1 /mnt/extusb
mount -t ext2fs /dev/da1 /mnt/extusb
