Hello,
I just migrated 2 NAS from XigmaNAS to FreeNAS!
NAS1 (32GB RAM)
System drive: 160 GB HDD @ SATA
FreeNAS Installation DVD created 3 Partitions (Boot, System and SWAP I assume)
NAS2 (32GB RAM)
System drive: 120 GB SSD @ USB 3.0
FreeNAS Installation DVD created 2 Partitions (Boot & System) - an SSD @ USB3 should be fast enough for a SWAP-Partition, there is no SATA Port free
According to the Fact that I can't create any Pools NAS2cannot create a Swap-Partition on a Pool. All Polls existspreviously and are only imported (successful as far as I can see).
Questions:
Why obviously a different Installation on HDD @ SATA and SSD @ USB3?
Why no choosable installation Mode anymore? (previous Versions had selections between SWAP and no No Swap)
A SWAP Partition is highly recommended - even on Systems with more RAM!
