Hi,
I'm just about to deply my second TrueNAS system at home.
I've installed the OS on a 1TB SSD. It's all I have available - a whole bunch of 1TB SSDs. I could go and buy a smaller SSD from Amazon but that seems kind of pointless.
Is there any way to use some of the pretty massive amount of space I have available on this SSD for data storage?
Seems kind of dumb to just have 1 TB drive sitting there for nothing except the OS.
There doesn't seem to be a way to do this using the GUI (why would there be, it's an unusual thing to do). So perhaps there is a way to create a partition from the command line and have this show up as an available option for a storage pool?
Even if it's a case of allocating 800 GB for use as a scratch / non RAID storage space. Would be nice to at least be able to use it.
Thanks all
