Migrating data between pools on same system
Posted: Fri Jan 11, 2019 10:18 am
I have a current 8-disk rz2 ZFS pool and will be setting up a new one to replace it and I'm wondering what is the best way to migrate all the data/filesystems.
Here's what I have currently on this pool (from `zfs list`):
rz2
rz2/VirtualMachines
rz2/archive
rz2/backups
rz2/documents
rz2/media
rz2/pictures
I would say I'm a basic O3X user and the only other time I've shifted data from one pool to another, I just used rsync, but I've seen some mentions of zfs send/receive as another potentially better way to copy the data. If someone could provide basic steps and commands knowing the structure I have.
Thanks in advance for the help
