I am currently booting FreeNAS 11.-2U4.1 from a sandisk cruzer blade 16gb, and I also have another usb stick the same. As I want to mirror the boot device, I am following these instructions:
[EFAULT] The new device (SanDisk Cruzer Blade, 14.56 GB, 30,529,536.0 blocks) does not have enough space to to hold the required new partitions (freebsd-boot, 1,024 blocks, freebsd-zfs, 31,260,672 blocks, total of 31,261,696 blocks). New mirrored devices might require more space than existing devices due to changes in the booting procedure.
The said new device has been formatted to fat32, so there are no other files on the drive. Do I need 2 32Gb usb drives then for mirroring the boot files.
Thanks
