November 6, 20241 yr Hi, I made 2 pools of ZFS in my backup server, running UnRAID 7 beta 4. I don't have the option to divide a share over multiple pools, as you have in an Array, to expand the share over another drive, if the first drive is getting full. Is there an option to do this with Pools? (CLI for example) I can select another pool, but that means that it is going to move from Pool-one to Pool-Two. I don't want that, I just need extra space in case the Pool-One gets full, that the Movies start filling up the other Pool (Pool-Two)

How do I do that? I only see the mover action. I even tried, and it does move the Data share from Pool-One to Pool-Two, which is not what I want. The share needs to fill Pool-One and then continues on Pool-Two.
