Importing a BTRFS array from a different server

Hi,

I have installed Rockstor on a HP Microserver Gen8, and I had a question with regard to a BTRFS array I have from a previous server, which isn't BTRFS based.

I set up a BTRFS RAID array of 4 x 4TB disks previously, and upon the new install, they show up under physical disks, and they give the option to import them.

I click the arrow, and they show up as a pool of "none" and are mounted on /mnt2/none

Details:

[root@nas ~]# btrfs fi df /mnt2/none/
Data, single: total=7.31TiB, used=7.31TiB
System, RAID1: total=32.00MiB, used=800.00KiB
Metadata, RAID1: total=12.00GiB, used=10.36GiB
GlobalReserve, single: total=512.00MiB, used=0.00B
[root@nas ~]# btrfs fi show
Label: 'rockstor_rockstor'  uuid: 02381824-7e07-4c1c-8506-b0d9c715650e
Total devices 1 FS bytes used 1.62GiB
devid    1 size 25.58GiB used 4.04GiB path /dev/sdd3
Label: none  uuid: b7ee4b72-afe8-4ccc-99db-fe737ab52b10
Total devices 4 FS bytes used 7.32TiB
devid    1 size 3.64TiB used 1.83TiB path /dev/sda
devid    2 size 3.64TiB used 1.83TiB path /dev/sdb
devid    3 size 3.64TiB used 1.83TiB path /dev/sdc
devid    4 size 3.64TiB used 1.83TiB path /dev/sdf

However, the pool does not seem to persist, am I missing something here, or is there a way I can add these drives as a pool permanently, and maybe even change the name of the pool?
Thanks,
Phil
