Hi folks! absolute novice with truenas core here. I just performed my first installation of the OS last night and while i looked around the internet for answers, i never found anything that in my mind was a simple "yes/no" answer.
My installation of the os (on bare metal, across identical 512GB samsung SSD's, directly connected to the sata 3 ports on the motherboard), never prompted me to choose which filesystem i wanted to use, nor did it prompt me to choose which level of raid.
My question(s) are:
-Does truenas core default to zfs for the boot drives?
-Upon my placing the '*' next to the two drives i was installing the OS on, does it automatically create them as raid1 (mirrored with zfs)?
in pfsense, zfs is default but it gives filesystem options during the installation, plus it shows on the homepage/dashboard that the filesystem is zfs however i haven't found that on the truenas core dashboard.
thanks for your patience!
