Hello,
I'm new to freenas (9.10 stable) and got a question about mirrorring two disks (sorry if it is a stupid faq question... i havnt found the answer in the forum...) and i'm a bit confused about the whole partition on zfs-disks.
I've got 2x 3TB disks and want to mirror only a part of them.
Specificly i want to
- mirror 2 TB of Data (Data that is only on freenas with read/write access over lan/vpn)
- one partition of 1 TB on disk 1 for a time machine partition for 2 macs
- one partition of 1 TB of Data (several user Data that is syncd to different PCs - so no need to mirror it between my two nas-disks)
Is this set-up possible or is raid1/mirror always a volume, that includes the whole two disks? In Volume Manager is no option to reduce the space of the 2 disks when mirror is picked)
Thanks for help
