First of all, I have searched for the answer I want but non of the links gave me it. Plenty on how to mirror, but that is not what I want ask.
I have 1 intel Series3 40Gb ssd drive which freeNAS boots from. I also have another of the same ssd drive, same size and same model number etc.
Does FreeNAS have to be installed on the 2nd drive which I want to be a mirrored drive, or can it be an empty drive. Choose wether it is empty of has FreeNAS on, it is not seen in the BIOS when the original ssd is connected and boots up into FreeNAS. Also neither is it seen in the boot tab of the GUI.
But if I install FreeNAS on this 2nd drive and if it is connected to the P0 (in the BIOS) sata port on the board it boots up fine.
Also, it seems that whichever of the 2 sata ssd sata port it is connected to, it is still P0 in the BIOS, and when both drives are connected, only the 1 drive on P0 is seen
When I go to Hard Drive BBS page both drives are shown, P0 and P1
Any ideas please
