Hello!

I'm doing some moving around of my files and I've encountered some small hurdles and wanted to ask to be sure.
I'm trying to eventually transition all the data on my array and on my cache drive into a ZFS pool I've set up. I got some advice from JonathanM over in this thread here which have been really helpful so far. The small issue I'm currently facing is that when I try to configure the shares that currently have my cache drive as primary storage I can't configure them as reccomended here with the array as primary, cache as secondary and the mover action from secondary (cache) to primary (array). The GUI only lets me change the primary storage from cache to array but does not allow me to set secondary to cache, its not avalible in the dropdown menu.

So my question for a workaround, would keeping my primary storage as the cache and secondary storage as the array with the mover action being to move from primary (cache) to secondary (array), be the same as setting my primary storage as the array and changing my secondary storage to the cache and setting the mover action from secondary (cache) to primary (array)?

Logically in my mind this should yield the exact same result, but I'm not sure if I'm missing some info about what setting primary and secondary storage does, if it's just a personal preference for where the primary and secondary storage location of data is supposed to be or if this also stores some other data or sets some other variables for something.

Thanks for the read!

That's not possible, pool can never be set as secondary, you set cache as primary, array as secondary, mover action from pool to array.
