I apologize that this question could be answered by sufficient delving into the docs, but not understanding the basics makes the docs very hard to read.
Among physical devices, their mounting under the OS, vdevs, shares, pools, and probably more... I'm lost.
All the names refer to the same set of storage in some fashion, and it isn't at all clear how they relate. Certain users can be given access to some of these, or parts of these. And some user owns them.
I'm asked to give names to some things... such as volumes... and I don't know which name(s) will finally be used when I access the NAS from my local network.
A short description of how these inter-relate would be very helpful to let me get started reading the documentation. A diagram (if possible) would also help.
Thanks.
My goal and equipment:
running latest version of FreeNAS
(4) 1TB hard drives that I want as a ZRAID-1 to have 1 drive fail-safe
I think that will give me approx 3TB of storage space
not at all concerned about speed of read or write
SuperMicro X7SPA-HF 4GB RAM
