I tried Scale as an experiment, but the overhead of Kube for my little atom was too much.
I know it isn’t supported, but if I go back to a BSD based system (e.g. Core) will the pool be recognised?
I’m happy for a 100% clean restart, but obviously, I’d like to be able to get my pool back
I guess the main issue is that the ZFS version on the system I switch to should be at least as up to date as the ZFS currently running in Scale? Is that the only issue (given that I’m happy to have a clean system other than the pool).
As for switching back to core. If you have not upgraded the pool under scale then you should be fine.
I use mirrored boot, pulled one SSD off, migrated to scale, data pool imported but took 15 minutes, unhappy, replaced the scale boot SSD with the core mirror and I am back to business.
