Hi
I am planning my harddrives setup and configuration in a new freeNAS machine. I have 6x 3TB Seagatedrives and 2x 4TB WD RED drives.
I will propably create 2 zpools. One of those zpools will contain data i don't need to access often at all. Maybe once in a month and not even that!
Therefor i would like to be able to turn off/offline/disconnect that zpool (no power at all to those drives) and later when needed once a month turn it on/online it and uses it again.
Example:
Every month,
- Read or store data in that zpool
- Zscrub it
- Turn off/offline/disconnect that zpool again.
So i wonder, is there such an option in freeNAS ?
(( Claryifing, i want all of that zpools drives to be complety turned off from power. Saving power and generating less heat. At the same time i want that zpool to be able to e scrubed when i turned it on. ))
