I am planning to migrate from CORE to SCALE.
I have 2 Linux VMs (that mostly run docker) and a few jails, all installed on a NVME drive that I use as the System Dataset and for the VM boot volumes.
Since jails and VMs will not migrate automatically, I am planning to do a clean install.
But, in order to save the settings of the jails/containers, I would like to be able to copy all files in the jails and VMs to a data drive that I can access later as I do the reinstall.
What's the best way of doing this?
I tried with a rsync of all the iocage directory, but I can't stop rsync from crawling all mount points of the jails. I can exclude the mount points manually, but it is very tedious.
I was planning to do the same with the VMs, but I can see a similar thing happening.
If I take a snapshot of the NVME drive, I'm not sure how to mount it once I'm in SCALE (also some data is on a Bhyve VM that I assume will not be mountable once I'm on KVM).
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction
