My first home server was build on Windows Home Server. My system included hot swap trays for syncing data to removable drives. These drives were removed and inserted into water tight containers and put into a fire proof safe. As a retired IT disaster recovery professional I considered this approach reasonable protection for my data. About three weeks ago I installed (3) new 4TB WD Red disks for my disk array and installed FreeNAS 11.2. My new FreeNAS server is working well and the learning curve has not been difficult. Thanks to the development team for all their hard work!
Then came time to implement my Disaster Recovery plan. The hot swap disks work well and FreeNAS recognizes them. But, I cannot mount a non-ZFS file system. That is a deal breaker! I have spent over a week scouring the internet for a solution but find no solution. In some of the discussions it is apparent the FreeNAS development team is adamant non-ZFS file systems will not be mountable.
Please help me understand the plan.
Thank you,
