Hello everybody, I hope I am posting this in the correct forum. I have built an i5 based server, on which I would like to run Zoneminder and Plex.
System is an i5-3330 on an Asus P8H77-V MoBo and 16gb of ram. 2x250GB SSD's, 1 for OS, and another for Jails, Plugins etc.
Storage is 8x3tb SAS connected to a IBM ServeRAID M5110 HBA controller, and all is working.
It's an old spec system I know, but I would like to better my knowledge of how TrueNAS works, before I start upgrading.
I understand how to create Jails, install plugins etc, and have installed ZM and Plex and have them working, to a point.
Where I am struggling is,
1) what would be the reccomended file system to set up my HDDs, do I use 1 pool or multiple, and
2) how do I point ZM to use this / these pools for storage.
I dont mind uninstalling what I have and starting again, as my media is currently on a Qnap NAS, and I have no use for existing CCTV footage.
I hope there is somebody on here who can guide me.
