Hi,
My current setup is as follows:
6 SATA ports with 5 HDDs. On 1 HDD FreeBSD 10 is installed and with 4 HDDs I created a ZFS RAIDZ1.
The 4 HDD devices were first labeled with glabel() and then encrypted with geli(). On top of that I created the ZFS RAIDZ1 pool. The OS HDD is not encrypted.
Everything is fine, but now I would like to change the configuration. I would like to free the SATA-Port with the FreeBSD 10 OS to create a second ZFS Pool with 2 more HDDs.
1. Is it possible to install and run FreeBSD on an USB Stick? How can I do that?
2. What steps do I have to do first, that I am able to reimport my 4 HDD encrypted drive again later, when I setup a fresh FreeBSD 10 install?
I guess I somehow have to backup/recreate the the labeled drives in /dev/label but I don´t know how to do that. Can somebody help me with that?
Thank you
YAG
