Hi everyone, new to FreeNAS, going to be installing it for the first time tonight and just wanted to confirm one thing. From knowing most operating systems, installing them on a drive doesnt take away the rest of space on the drive.
But what it seems like, if you install FreeNAS on a hard drive, like my 600GB HDDs, it essentially takes away all the space on that drive, is this correct? Is that why everyone uses a USB stick to run the software? I feel like that's how it works but I just wanted some confirmation.
Thank you
