So my FreeNas devices has been humming along for a while. 2 times in the last 2 weeks i have received this alert:
The boot volume state is UNAVAIL: One or more devices are faulted in response to IO failures.
A reboot fixes things, and I see no errors anywhere - but not sure where to look.
So, I guess i need to replace my boot drive.
I will probably just use a USB stick - should be as fast as desktop HDD - any reason not to? I see it is also possible to mirror boot devices in FreeNAS.
I saw the 3 steps "if something goes wrong" - and I had some questions:
Questions:
If i install from CD will freenas see my USB sticks as storage/boot devices? I assume I only have to set USB in the boot order bios, anything else?
2 and 3 look painless as long as I do a save config.
I am running Plex and Jails - should there be any issues?
Thanks for any help/advice

I saw the 3 steps "if something goes wrong" - and I had some questions:
- Perform a fresh installation on a new boot device.
- Import your volumes in Storage ‣ Auto Import Volume.
- Restore the configuration in System ‣ General ‣ Upload Config.
