I'm currently in the process of building out a second TrueNAS SCALE system to finally semi-retire my existing TrueNAS CORE.
I'm still going to be using the TrueNAS CORE system, but it would only be turned on once a month as a backup to the new primary one.
As I understand it, ZFS on Linux is incompatible with FreeBSD prior to version 13.0-RELEASE and is also the reason why the FreeBSD project is currently supporting both FreeBSD 12 and 13.
My question is, would I still be able to do a ZFS send/receive from the SCALE to the CORE system even though the CORE system is running earlier version of ZFS (I have not upgraded my pool since version 11) or would I have to first upgrade the pool to the latest version to match the new SCALE's system? Note that the only ZFS feature I use is the basic (lz4) compression and checksums. No encryptions or dedups, etc.
Hardware specs for the systems are in my signature.
