[Help] Add second NVME to boot pool?  [SOLVED]

Post by liability »

I recently upgraded from a F2-221 to an F4-424.

I installed one NVME and two hard disks. During setup I chose to install the boot system on ONLY the NVME. If I add another NVME to that pool will it mirror the existing NVME and give me some boot redundancy?

Edit - scratch that, it appears that the 2 hard disk are the system disks. I was sure that during setup I chose only the NVME?

I assume that has to be done during initial setup, and can't be done at a later stage?

Hello! The additional NVMe drive you added will not automatically mirror the existing NVMe drive.

Recently, we released the TOS 6 Beta, which introduces new system disk management features, including NVMe mirroring support. If you're interested in testing this beta functionality, you can follow the steps in this guide:

If your NAS stores critical data, we recommend waiting until this feature is officially released in TOS 6 Stable for maximum reliability.

Certainly! If you'd like, you can reinstall the system and select both NVMe drives as system disks during installation.
