Hi there,
I'm affraid my boot device (USB key) is slowly dying.
2nd key failing in one year :(
I already bought a new USB key using SLC cells to replace it.
The plan is :
- install new FreeNAS on the new key using another computer and another IP address since the real NAS is hard to move.
- dont setup anything on the new install outside new IP address
- save the config from the actual NAS.
- shutdown the NAS, remove the key, insert the new key, boot.
- upload configuration form saved one and possibly change the IP if it dont comes with the config.
Is that ok ?
No problem from installing with another computer ?
Another question.
New key is SLC and 32 GB. Can I use a some GB for ZFS metadata ?
If yes, how ?
