install NAS4Free 1349 to HDD

Post by drnicolas »

Sounds funny, isn't it?

I have a working configuration with a set of 3 HDD as RAIDZ1 and anoother HDD.
NAS4Free boots from a USB-Stick.

Is this setup supported?
Otherwise I would like to remove the USB-STick as a possible reason for unintended reboots.

Therefore I think I have to install NAS4Free on my HDDs. Is this possible without destroying the existing config ?

one raid and a separate single drive [and much more] can be run from the embedded OS stored on a USB flash, loaded to and run from RAM.
USB flash is NOT recommended with a full install due to flash write wear.
intermittent reboot is usually a hardware issue
first run a mem0ry test.
