Hi, new to Freenas (but not new to storage etc)
Have 4 x 10 TB drives and want to have a miror that should give me around 18 TB space, but the wizzard in 11.2 GUI always shows me 9 TB free like its ignoring 2 of the drives. Read something about creating 2 x mirrors and striping them etc, but dont feel comfortable i do it right then.
Why is there no wizzard in the GUI for 4 x HDD in Mirror (2 x 2) when all other options is represented in the wizzard ?
WHere can I find clear and concise explanation how to use 4 disks in mirror with the new 11.2 GUI without having to read 100 pages first ?
Other question, everyone in these forums seem to look at RaidZ1 as NONO because long rebuild time on large HDD and it could happen You loose the 1 redundant drive during this rebuild, but at same time same people say RAID is absolutely not a backup, so If i make daily backups why then is RaidZ1 so bad ? (i would only loose data since backup from day before in worst case scenario)
