Hi. I'm running FreeNAS with:
Usecase:
Now would be a good time to do this, while I can still backup to external HDDs to rebuild the pool. Is there any major downside to a setup like this? Is it doable? Can I do it from the GUI without the CLI?
Thanks!
- 2 x 4 TB WD RED mirrored
- 2 x 8 TB WD RED mirrored
Usecase:
- home setup, so uptime and resiliancy isn't my utmost concern
- Running 5 small VMs on a proxmox host with SSD. The VMs use the NAS only as a file storage. I.e. Owncloud runs on proxmox and files from FreeNAS are mounted through CIFS.
- Storing some movies and files that aren't accessed very frequently (torrenting). I'll watch a maximum of 2 movies at the same time from the NAS.
Now would be a good time to do this, while I can still backup to external HDDs to rebuild the pool. Is there any major downside to a setup like this? Is it doable? Can I do it from the GUI without the CLI?
