Hello All,
I am getting ready to finally put my FreeNas box together. I am going to use the USB header with an adapter to have FreeNas on. I have read many threads and am a little confused - I want to do this right. Here are my concerns/questions:
I have two brand new 16 gig SanDisk USB 2.0 drives - I hear that you can mirror the install, for redundancy. What is the best way to accomplish this, to get the mirror active? I would assume the mirror part would be in the initial setup of FreeNas.
What is the best way to "install," freenas on the usb key?
Here is how I think it will work: I plug both USB sticks into the header adapter. Have a 3rd drive and boot from it, install FreeNas to one of the USB drives on the header - THEN, go to the GUI and created a mirror of the boot device?
Thanks!
