[SOLVED] Setting swap on non-boot disk/device

Post by hailthemelody »

Hi Fellow Nas4Freers,

I'm experimenting with a setup where I boot from USB but use a harddrive (SAS) for handling Nas4Free swap (not to be confused with ZIL or CACHE for Pools)

During the install process the installer asks for how much swap should be provisioned, but I can't figure out how to assign where it will provisioned. Is this possible during the install process, or do I need to "redirect" and (possibly) resize after install?

Thank you

You need to configure before install, from webGUI:
