Hi all, I'm completely new to TrueNAS and only just discovered it so I'm keen to get up and running.
I've bought a refurbished Dell PowerEdge R720xd with 2 x 300GB SAS 15K drives for the OS and 8 x 4TB 10K SAS for storage.
My plan was to used RAID1/Mirror for the OS and RAID10 for the remainder for storage.
I created the 2 Virtual Disks in the RAID setup after booting, then installed TrueNAS on the OS RAID1 volume, but then when creating a pool, I get a warning about adding a stripe set.
I thought I must have made a mistake and maybe TrueNAS wants/needs to handle the RAID itself, so I started again and deleted the virtual disk, but now I can't see the disks at all in TrueNAS.
I know this must be something simple I'm missing but I promise I've searched and I get conflicting information so I'm looking for a simplified answer if possible please?
Thanks in advance
Scott
