FYI: the NAS is a Yottamaster headless hard drive enclosure (for example, like this one:
https://yottamaster.com/products/yottamaster-4-bay-hard-drive-enclosure-with-cooling-fan)
and the zpool was created/initialized directly with the
OpenZFS_on_OSX through my MAC.
You could create a pool on a file, then copy file to FreeBSD, and check if you can import file on NAS.
Thank you, will try that and verify if it works.
[EDITED]But then...
future PROBLEM? does that mean that it's not possible to fully switch to
native OpenZFS instead of
OpenZFS_on_OSX? that would entail that it will not be possible to patch/upgrade the NAS to future releases of
native OpenZFS?
I wouldn't want to be stuck with a DOUBLE FS, i.e., the NAS hard drives' pool created/run with OpenZFS_on_OSX, separated from the computer running
native OpenZFS. How to homogenize the whole system, if possible? E.g.,
1. backup all the data from the current pool
2. then format the NAS hard disks
3. reinstall and re-create the pool with
native OpenZFS 4. import the backupped data on the NAS
Would that work? otherwise?
