What if you need to delete 200TB of data, and you forgot to put your metadata on an SSD?

What if you need to delete 200TB of data, and you forgot to put your metadata on an SSD?
- GauntletWizard 1y agoYou can add a metadata device to the pool at any time - it's probably faster to add that pool and wait for it to populate than to delete all that data with metadata on spinning rust.
- tinco 1y agoIt was a while ago. I think I needed to move the data one directory at a time to get it to move the metadata to the SSD 's. Since that still would take months I think I simply waited for the next upgrade and moved all the data to a new pool. And deleted the old one.
