Hi guys,
I have a few questions regarding my current FreeNAS 8.03 and upgrading to FreeNAS 8.2 (when it's final, not beta).
I am running FreeNAS 8.03 now with Sabnzbd, Couchpotato and Sickbeard without problems. To install these I followed a tutorial from the website "fantechtic" (http://blog.rogee.nl/).
Now as soon as FreeNAS 8.2 final is released I will probably make the switch, because of the plugin ability. However I am still quite new to FreeNAS (and Unix in general), so I have a few questions.
Question 1:
I think it's best to do a complete fresh clean install when FreeNAS 8.2 final is released, because of the plugin ability right? That way I would be able to update any used plugin much easier, right?
Question 2:
I am currently running 6 x 2 TB harddisks in RaidZ2. If I do a clean fresh install of FreeNAS 8.2, will I lose any data? How do I make the new install detect the current configuration of the 6 harddisks? In the past with clean fresh installs, sorry for sharing this, I did it pretty stupid. I copied everything to an external 1 TB harddisk and after the installation, I copied everything back. However nowadays I am using a lot more storage, so it would be impossible to do this way again. Certainly there must be an easier way, right?
Anyone interested to help me out?
