Hi there!
I'm using freeNAS/trueNAS now more then one year. My system has three internal HDDs as my datapool and one internal SSD. With freeNAS 11.x I was not able to use this SSD as bootdevice and system dataset together. So I've devided to choose two USB sticks as my bootpool.
With trueNAS 12.x I've read this is not recommended anymore. I've seen it possible now to use my SSD as bootpool and system dataset together. Is this correct? If yes, is there a simple way to migrate my bootpool to the SSD without loosing data?
I'm thinking about the following:
1. activate my data pool discs temporary as system dataset devices
2. delete the SSD
3. add the SSD to the bootpool and start the resilvering process
4. detach all USB sticks from the NAS
What do you think, could this work?
Greetings from Vienna!
