Good morning,
I installed 9.10.2 to a 16GB USB drive yesterday and configured it. Everything works fantastic but I'm worried about my drive failing over time. I have a couple of questions I hope someone can answer for me.
1) If the USB drive fails,and I configure a new USB drive to take its place, do I lose all my configurations?
2) If I attach a secondary drive to the system is it better to attach it to freenas-boot or stripe? Will either get me back up and running if the primary USB fails? What's the difference between the two?
3) What steps have you taken to prevent a USB drive failure from taking down your NAS?
Thank you,
Rich
