A few months ago I switched from Ubuntu 20.04 to Truenas SCALE (First 21.06 now up to 21.08 BETA2).
Generally I've been really impressed with it and happy with the switch except for a particular boot issue (separate thread) which seems to be specific to my server. I'm considering switching back to Ubuntu for now on this server to avoid that bug if it can't be resolved soon.
If I do so can I simply import my ZFS pool into Ubuntu like I did going to SCALE?
I'm sure I can in theory but only thing is although I've not upgraded the ZFS version for a while I think I did so back on 21.06 as I enabled LZ4 and deduplication on one dataset in the pool and I believe the versions have to match to some extent but does anyone know how I can check the version I'm using currently and can Ubuntu 20.04 be configured to use the same version, and if not will it work if the versions are at least close enough for Ubuntu 20.04 ZFS to support the LZ4 and deduplication features I enabled? If 20.04 can't work, I could also look at Ubuntu 21.10 if that is a closer match...
