I'd like to get rid of TrueOS, start with base FreeBSD and configure from there. I've got two zpools which are replicated to another box on the network. At this point I can:
1. Install FreeBSD from the USB stick, completely reformatting the drives, set up new zpools, and copy the datasets over from the remote box.
or
2. Somehow install FreeBSD from the USB without nuking the drives? I could not figure out how to do this from the installer.
Some info about the current two zpools.
1. Both consist of two physical drives which are mirrored.
2. You probably inferred that one has data while the other has the OS and a few user home directories. You would be correct.
Any advice on how to proceed?
I'm thinking if I install on one of the mirrored OS drives, I'll easily be able to add the data zpool and stuff from the other mirrored OS drive. Pure fantasy?
