deafhobbit Posted Saturday at 08:10 PM Posted Saturday at 08:10 PM (edited) i currently have a truenas scale server, which does what i need it to do, but is a huge pain to work with as an amateur. i bought the beta because i love the idea of having a simpler gui on top of the rock solid truenas base. i don't have the time or the hardware to spin up a second server running hexos to participate in the beta right now, but i'd love to be able to switch over to hexos eventually. therefore, having some method to "upgrade" from truenas scale to hexos eventually would be much appreciated. a nice way to do it in truenas's gui would be best of course, but i'd settle for a good written guide. as long as i'm able to bring over my existing datasets, i'll be happy. i don't think this is a priority feature to develop during the beta, but i'd like to see it eventually.

shamrock Posted Monday at 01:58 PM Posted Monday at 01:58 PM If we can't use our current system, can you at least work out a migration path for those running TrueNAS Scale? Ideally, write up a FAQ and walkthrough for users wanting to migrate from their current TrueNAS SCALE to utilizing HexOS as the frontend. Quote
darkwheel Posted Monday at 02:18 PM Posted Monday at 02:18 PM As far as I ready it in other threads of this forum, you are able to reinstall the OS and then migrate the pool. But I did not find a verified answer for this from the developers. Quote

This, If I have to rebuild my current setup not the worst thing in the world but It would be nice to have a easy path so 14tb of data doesn't have to clog up my network again Quote
