First time user here and wondering if maybe I should rethink the way I have my disks deployed.
Current setup
2x nvme mirror - System
1x nvme + 1x ssd mirror - Apps
7x 10tb WD Red - 3 mirror vdev + hot spare
I have the suspicion that my SSD is failing and I am wondering if I should even replace it. I would much rather just have the 3x nvme and the 7x mech drives but I had some questions about fault scenarios being a new user to ZFS and TrueNAS.
Should I really be wasting the 2x nvme on the system setup, it almost seems like all of the config and work goes into the Apps so I should really move my mirror to Apps and then just use a single nvme for System?
Because if System fails I just replace and reinstall truenas and then discover both pools and then all of my data and apps, containers, vm's all come back and work just fine?
Or does it not work like that?
I would possibly pick up a couple of SSD's and use that for a new mirror for system, and then I would have the following.
2x ssd mirror - System
2x nvme mirror - Apps
2x 10tb WD Red - 3 mirror vdev + hot spare (and maybe even throw another nvme as metadata?)
Anyways appreciate the consideration, thanks in advance.
