Greetings all!
First time FreeNAS User working my way through installation of a FreeNAS Mini XL+ and am trying to align what I expected with what I'm seeing on the machine I received.
System Details
This pool only shows up in System > System Dataset and not in Storage > Pools.
Assumptions I have made from my reading:
First time FreeNAS User working my way through installation of a FreeNAS Mini XL+ and am trying to align what I expected with what I'm seeing on the machine I received.
System Details
- FreeNAS Mini XL +
- SSD Accelerator Pack (two 480 GB Micron SSDs)
- 64 GB Memory
- 5 WD Drives in a single pool RaidZ2
This pool only shows up in System > System Dataset and not in Storage > Pools.
Assumptions I have made from my reading:
- system data should not live on the same pool as the data storage because it contains the encryption keys to decrypt it
- partitioning the SSD to have a single 16 GB partition to pool with the SATADOM is against best practices because the caches should have no other IO hitting them
- system-data must live on a pool
