I am helping build a storage server for our temple out of old hardware.
There is an old server with 24 drive capacity + 2. There are two 60GB SSDs to install TrueNas.
I have the following (all SAS disks)
16 x 500GB
2 x 2TB
4 x 1TB
2 x 750GB
I was planning to evenly split (have an extra 1TB, 2TB and 750GB on top of above) the disks in half and create 2 arrays with the following disks.
8 x 500GB
1 x 2TB
2 x 1TB
1 x 750GB
Total 12 disks with a capactity of 8750GB.
I want to create 2 arrays in that config and mirror them.
Since ZFS does not let you do JBOD for an array, what am I supposed to do? I have always used identical disks to create simple zfs pools and don't even know where to begin searching for information.
I do not want any striping. Just 2 arrays of what is equivalent to JBOD in the above config.
Can some one please help me out for a good cause. I volunteer my time there for free so any help you guys can provide will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
