I have a couple of pools that I want to consolidate into a single pool and I really want to move to Linux, so I am going to be making the plunge soon.
I (currently) plan to back everything up (in two places!), wipe my drives and do a fresh install.
Am I better starting from scratch, or running the upgrade and rebuilding my pool?
If I do an upgrade:
I have a couple of jails (a web server with nothing on it and a plex server) that I assume will get blown away as they are currently on FreeBSD and a VM running Ubuntu (that I am looking forward to turning into a jail on SCALE.)
I have a few rsync tasks that I wouldn't mind keeping, along with my (couple of) users and their UID's and GID's.
There are probably some other things that I can't think of that will (hopefully) remain intact.
If I do a new install:
There will be no bloat from the previous version
I will have to reconfigure a few things
Any suggestions/comments/recommendations?
