I have 2 ZFS pools and an Array. I'm still waiting for some disks to come in, so my server isn't fully populated yet, but I'm starting to transfer files.

 

I've read that unraid doesn't support moving files between two pools natively (yet). I'm wondering if it's ok if I move data (using unbalanced) from a share's primary storage pool to another pool that isn't listed in the shares settings.

 

Example:

- slow_cache = zfs raid0 pool

- hot_storage = zfs raidz1 pool

- Array = normal unraid array

 

- Share "Photos"

- Primary storage: slow_cache

- Secondary storage: array

 

If I use unblanaced (or some other method) of moving data from the Photos share from "slow_cache" to "hot_storage" (which isn't listed in it's share's settings), will that cause problems? I tested it with a small amount of data and it seemed to be ok, but wanted to confirm before moving a bunch more data.

 

Thanks!

Not sure if unbalanced supports moving data from one pool to another, but you can use for example the Dynamix File Manager plugin, or even the mover, though with the mover it would need to be moved to the array first, then from the array to the other pool.
