Status Update:
Reported bug in the vbulletin.rb script at meta discourse but will not post any more bugs regarding vB3.8.X migration to discourse over there.
Back to working on the migration.
Also, I am also considering to keep both forums up and running and leave this one at www.unix.com and keep the discourse.unix.com forum separate. Need to think about this and how it might hurt SEO for one site or the other in the future..

Note:
I compared the "forums which ported to categories" against "forums which did not port to discourse categories" and the forums "which did not port" all had a parentid of -1,
So, I think this can be fixed by altering the "dumped DB" and changing all forum parentid to -1.
I will do this as a part of "round 2" after this migration test is done.

I'm fairly confident now that, after the first "test migration" if over (in a day or so) , I can make this port work nicely with some simple modifications to the Ruby import script in the area of:
Now, waiting for all the posts / replies to import and then the attachments.
I think there is a potential problem with attachment, so after it is all "done" in this test round, I will have info info to make more adjustments in the Ruby migration script.
Plus, I get to learn a bit of "Ruby" along the way.

Still moving along:
The only "cautionary" comment I have so far is that of the two people on the "discourse side of the house" I have interacted with so far, both "had their hands out" looking to make money off this migration. One guy was a hired gun "migration expert" who wanted money to help me and the other person was in the discourse forums, the other was a discourse server provider.
This jives with some of the posts I have read which stated that discourse was free and the developers and other make a lot of money on associated hosting and services.
That's a lot different than the Node-RED community I have been interacting with where both Node-RED is free and the community is a robust, friendly group of "makers" all showing off their skills and talents and sometimes over-projecting their skills to attract attention; but they are truly helpful to all, especially noobs.
Discourse, on the other hand, seems to want to steer noobs to paid services.
That is not a big negative; as everyone has a right to make a living; and I heard the owners of Discourse make a fortune.
Quick Q...
do I need a new account for the discourse "side of the house"?
Tried my creds from the main site, getting "Incorrect username, email or password"
Or it's not been "enabled/migrated" yet?

I have some UFS volumes (non root), that I would like to change into ZFS volumes.
Is this possible ?
I think the only method is to create a new zfs volume and copy the data accoss, this would take a long time for us. Is there a quicker way ?
