Hello there.
My Jails folder is currently located at: /mnt/Working/Jails and I want to move it to: /mnt/Storage/Jails
I will need to destroy the Working zpool - i am changing from RaidZ1 to RaidZ2. I have tried to move the folder from the command line following the instructions here: https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/how-can-i-transfer-a-jail-to-another-disk.45505/
I only have one Jail - MySQL but i can't get the thing to move.
The error i am getting this morning is:
[root@freenas] ~# zfs snapshot -r Working/Jails@relocate
cannot create snapshot 'Working/Jails/MySQL@relocate': dataset already exists
no snapshots were created
I don't know if todays error is because i tried to take a snapshot last night. I am a snapshot virgin so be gentle. I have tried to help my self but I am unsure of the correct way to take a snapshot, move and then delete the jail. Any help would be greatly appreciated - it is just a MySQL database to allow different computers to know which videos i have watched and allow resuming on a different machine (using kodi). So it is not a disaster if i have to destroy the pool and start the Jail again but I would like to learn how to move it correctly.
