USB boot filling up

[Ericloewe]

Makes perfect sense to me, if FreeNAS can only find the boot pool, it creates the System Dataset on that boot pool.
Then once you configure a volume, the option becomes available to choose between the two pools.
Thanks for clearing that up for me pirateghost.
I wonder if chosing the main pool for the System Dataset would stress the USB flash drives less and cause them
to exhibit fewer failures?

The insane failure rates started way before there was an option to place the .system dataset on the boot pool, so I don't expect a significant change.
