December 3, 20232 yr My question is 2 parts: 1. Is it feasible to (with 6.12.6) get rid of the cache drive and the built in array, and to only have a zfs pool? I have a 30 drive zfs pool with 4 vdevs. 3 vdevs are 10 wide raidz2 and I have a metadata vdev on nvme drives in a 2 way mirror. The data drives are all 16TB and I feel that having the other cache/array drives are pointless. 2. if it is feasible, what is the best way to migrate all my data from the standard folders to the zfs pool? I have tried this before and failed miserably in previous versions.

Yes, but you still need at least one data device assigned to the array, it can be an old flash drive. 2 hours ago, TheSkaz said: 2. if it is feasible, what is the best way to migrate all my data from the standard folders to the zfs pool?
