Hi there,
I have installed Freenas to use as a storage server for my ESXi server. I have installed freenas on a motherboard attached SATA disk, and have other drives attached on a rocketraid controller. After installing the driver and setup some mirrors and stripes in the controller bios, all is working fine. I now have configured 8 x 1TB as 4 seperate mirrors, 2 x 480GB SSD as stripe and 2 x 30GB as mirror. The 4 mirrors of the 1TB disks are used for 1 zpool. The 480GB ssd's are configured as read cache, and the 30GB as write cache (log). Everything works as expected, and the performance of the vm's is very well.
I would like to configure the system disk with freenas installed also as a mirror. I have already attached a second disk (of the same size/brand/type) to the motherboard, but can't figure out how to create the mirror.
Regards,
Nico
