Boot Pool Migration?

[kimmy]

ok so I was an idiot and installed hex os on a drive that is way too small, the drive it is on right now is 120gb. I have a 1tb drive in the system but i know that for data security my boot pool should be on a raid1 drive. so i have ordered a second 1tb m.2 so that I can do raid 1. my problem now is, how can I migrate my boot pool from the 120gb drive onto the raid 1 config? I dont want to go through and have to reconfigure docker and all my other stuff.

your boot drive is not too small
in fact i would say its still too big 😂

hexos/truenas fits on a 16gb ssd, anything larger than that is a waste of space lol. The extra space is locked away and cannot be used for any purpose

boot drive should be mirrored for safety which is slightly different from raid. A mirror has the exact same data on more than 1 drive.

easiest way to swap boot drives is to make a clone of it with something like clonezilla.

But again your boot drive is more than big enough

ok so upon further research it would seem that for some reason, portainer was installed onto the boot-pool and is filling it up. I cannot figure out how to move portainer to my main-pool. and I really dont want to have to redo all of the configuration I went through with my containers.

How can I see what is on my boot-pool? because the drive is 92% full and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to reduce.
