Hi
I want to replace the USB key that is used to run the FreeNAS OS out of. The original key I put in has a modeller profile, I got one with a smaller profile and would like to replace it. Also, I thought it would be a good idea to have a backup.
Reply to another post says to do a upgrade using the *same version* of FreeNAS [a]. I looked through the doc on upgrading and I have some questions:
Section 2.5.3 Upgrading using the ISO says to boot the machine with the new install media. Then to select the option of upgrade.
From the answer on thread [a] I guess I should boot the install media with the new USB key also connected to the machine (existing FreeNAS USB disconnected).
I have installed a jail and plugins in that jail. Are jails stored in the storage volume or on the USB key?
Are configuration files stored on the USB key or the storage volume?
Do I need to back up the configuration or any other stuff before attempting this? (Note: I already have a back up of my encryption key)
