Moving from TrueNas to unraid on the same hardware

Featured Replies

Hi All,

Starting to think about moving from TrueNas (after 10 years) to Unraid due to constant change in direction from TrueNas. So at this point I wonder if just exporting pools and importing them into Unraid will do the trick?

 

 zpool status -LP
  pool: BigDisk
 state: ONLINE
status: Some supported and requested features are not enabled on the pool.
    The pool can still be used, but some features are unavailable.
action: Enable all features using 'zpool upgrade'. Once this is done,
    the pool may no longer be accessible by software that does not support
    the features. See zpool-features(7) for details.

I also have a number of VMs and Apps. Apps I can recreate using Unraid apps, but not sure if I can import VMs.

Not at the moment, they are using partition #2 for zfs, this is the default with TrueNAS because it creates a swap partition first, Unraid should be able to import these soon, but for now you can import them only after manually adjusting the partition layout for all disks:

Thank you. After careful examination of the solution, I see two problems - 1. My pools are on the lates TN Scale ZFS and it may not be supported by current 6.x train ... 2. I am wondering if removing SWAP will be a one way ticket and it will prevent me from moving back to TN if something will not green with me on Unraid.

Sounds like I need to bring it up in virtual environment, create a disposable pool on TN and see if I can import it and go back.

If the pool was create or update with latest Scale you would need to use v7.0.0-beta

It doesn't, TrueNAS will re-import the pool as if nothing happened, swap is optional with TrueNAS, and the current default for new pools is no swap.
