Migrating boot volume to RAID1?

[Blues Guy]

Hi, everybody!

I setup my home server (HP Z210, 3,4GHz Xeon, 4C, HT, 16GB ECC-Ram, 4 2TB Samsung 7200rpm SATA-drives in RAIDZ1) with the 9.3 beta and migrated to the 9.3 release.

Looking though the videos, i learned that I can have mirrored boot-volumes now (them being ZFS and all). Does simply exporting the settings, selecting both USB-sticks in the installer and re-importing the configuration work? Is there anything, I have to look out for? Any pitfalls? If I do that, I will use two identical memory-sticks (16GB).

Thank you!

It did for me yesterday. You can also add the second device later, see http://doc.freenas.org/9.3/freenas_system.html#mirroring-the-boot-device.

Thank you very much for your quick and competent answer! I will try that as soon as I get the second memory stick.
