mistermanko submitted a new resource:

Move jails to another pool - How to switch jail pools in a few simple steps.

Made this a resource, as this has helped me a couple of times and is simple enough for inexperienced users to succeed.

I'd like to add a step-by-step guide that help me to do that. I it found over at lawrencesystems.com

I wanted to move jails from bluePool to ssdPool



  • logged out from the UI (don’t know if it played a part, thought to be safe)
  • iocage stop ALL
  • zfs unmount -f bluePool/iocage
  • zfs snapshot -r bluePool/iocage@migration...

@moderators please move this into the according truenas section. The ressource template for "jails and bhyve" is still attached to the legacy forums it seems.

Nicely written instructions. It looks too easy to actually work :wink:
Moved hopefully to a more appropriate area.

Unfortunately this is not slid for all instances, followed this to the letter and it's failed on the iocage clean command.

I ran ZFS destroy on the old one anyhow, this worked.
Clearly can't activate the new one though.

So I'm a bit boned for the time being until I google up a solution for this.

I found the command :
iocage fstab -e

This resulted in the following:

root@truenas[/usr/local/etc/rc.d]# iocage fstab -e

Usage: iocage fstab [OPTIONS] JAIL [FSTAB_STRING]...
Try 'iocage fstab --help' for help.

Error: Missing argument 'JAIL'.

Re-activating iocage on the old storage location, why I don't know.
So clearly a file or process should be added at some point or edited, which would point it to the new location.
