theFPVgeek Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) Yesterday I converted my single SSD cache drive to ZFS. Everything worked successfully but now I'm thinking I may have caused an unforeseen issue. I was thinking about upgrading my hardware (motherboard, CPU, RAM) as I'm running on an old 4-core i7-3770. Now that my cache is on ZFS am I going to have an issue swapping everything over? Should I revert back to XFS or BTRFS before upgrading and maybe move the cache data over to the array first, just leave the cache as ZFS, or is there a better option?

I was worried that it would be unrecognized or be able to assign the drive correctly because I assumed ZFS was more dependent on position/assignment. Currently, my ZFS cache drive is assigned to sdf and I guess my assumption was incorrect therefore I can just swap the motherboard, ram, & cpu as planned. Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 The sdX type names are irrelevant to Unraid as it goes by drive serial number. Quote Link to comment
