January 24Jan 24 I am wanting to migrate from Truenas Scale to Unraid 7.2.3.I'm using the temporary 30 day trial to confirm that this works, but do plan on buying it once everything is up and running.I'm having issues importing my existing 57 3TB HDDs (Raidz2 9x6 and 3 Hot Spares) and 2 2TB SSDs for CacheI've created a 59 slot pool and left everything on auto/default and then placed in all of my drives, but when I go to start the array it leaves me with "Unmountable: unsupported or no file system"The pool is encrypted and I haven't put in my key anywhere so I was thinking that might be part of the reason?
January 25Jan 25 Community Expert I usually have to run the terminal manual commands first before you even attempting to add disk pools to unraid to do an import from Truenas to unlaid.With the pool completely deleted, are you able to run the command ZFS list And ZFs import To see if the disk can even be imported.
January 25Jan 25 Author I am able to zpool import the pool, but from what other similar instances I could find everyone told them to zpool export the pool before starting the array so I've always done that.
January 25Jan 25 Community Expert Unraid doesn't currently support zfs spares; you would need to remove them and reimport the pool without them.
January 25Jan 25 Community Expert 2 hours ago, Kilrah said:Doesn't support ZFS native encryption either, right?Correct, if that's being used, the pool won't be imported by the GUI.
January 25Jan 25 Author I've removed the spares and for simplicity the cache as well.Looking into ways to recreate the pool without encryption while not losing any data. The pool is currently at 39% capacity and using all available HDDs so I have nowhere I can temporarily move the data to.
January 30Jan 30 Author Was able to take advantage of my Raidz2 setup and yoinked drives from the existing pool without losing data to make a new pool.Setup a new pool (without encryption) and was able to get unraid setup on it. Technically ended up not importing an existing pool, but thanks for all help anyways.
February 15Feb 15 Just out of curiosity why did you switch from TrueNAS to UNRAID? I'm considering changing over and was just curious as to why you're migrating. Edited February 15Feb 15 by tessierp

Open Media Vault..Thanks for the explanation. I heard TrueNAS was bad for anything else but storage.. I don't use TrueNAS to host any VMs or apps. I have Proxmox for that in my case. I use TrueNAS purely for storage. One of the reasons why I'm considering UNRAID is because with TrueNAS your drives are always active right, always spinning. Now, I only use this in my homelab so I don't have any excessives writes or reads per day. A lot of people told me that it is way better to have a HDD spinning than having it power down and up depending on how much you use it. So probably I'm a bit too paranoid about drives wearing on TrueNAS?The other reasons are well, UNRAID is obviously the flexible and you can reshape your pool size easily. With ZFS and VDEVs that can be painful if you have a lot of files to move somewhere and, destroy the pool, rebuild it just to grow it (unless you are adding additional VDEVs of the same size obviously).
