First time NAS setup
(alien.top)
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
I'm confused, I haven't used TrueNAS before, can it only work with one pool at a time or what? Why would it lose data?
Can't OP connect the two new drives as a separate RAIDz1 pool, copy the data, then wipe the original drive/pool?
