I have a question: is it possible to install the system on two disks in RAID? And if not, is it possible to install the system on a small disk first, and then later change the location where applications from the App Store are installed to other disks where the RAID will be?
Lo segundo si es posible. El sistema te permite mover appData y/o .docker a la unidad Raid de un modo muy sencillo.
I believe right now ZimaOS can’t install the OS disk itself as RAID (mirror/RAID1), it’s designed to boot from a single system disk.
But yes, I suggest the best workflow is:
- Install ZimaOS on a small SSD/NVMe (system disk)
- Build your RAID pool using the larger drives
- Then migrate your App Store apps / AppData onto the RAID pool by setting the container volumes to the RAID path (example:
/DATA/AppData/...)
So even though the OS stays on one disk, all apps + all important data can be migrated and run from RAID
I have a small NAS with one M.2 drive and two 2TB HDDs, and I think the best thing to do is install the apps on the M.2 drive (your system drive). If you want to move large files (like Immich for photos), during installation you specify the exact location where you want to send the photos (that’s how I have it set up). The benefit of this is that the app is on the system drive, and the data is on the RAID array (which is ultimately what’s important: photos, videos, etc.).
