I first started out with just an HDD pool and have a handful of Apps running. All is groovy.
I added an SSD pool. Still groovy.
I created my first VM and Container and must have selected the SSD pool for my VMs and Containers. Still groovy.
Now I want to move my Apps Pool to the SSDs but the migrate fails telling me that there is already a pool on my SD.
Migration of ‘Enterprise_Disks/ix-apps’ to ‘Enterprise_SSDs’ not possible as Enterprise_SSDs/ix-apps already exists.
But the only items I have in my SSD pool are the VMs and Container, not the Apps.
Also of possible note are when I configured my apps, none of them were using ix pools for configurable data. I host mounted them all.
And I might be missing something…
When I look at the mounts, I see an .ix_apps folder but it is at the /mnt level.
truenas_admin@truenas-n5pro[/mnt]$ ls -la

Sounds like you might have a stale .ix-apps dataset mounted on the SSD pool that is preventing the migration for some reason, but you’ll have to explore what’s actually in that dataset.
