I’m in the early part of learning in anticipation of migrating from my 10yo+ NAS. I set up TrueNAS Scale with three data drives configured as RAIDZ1. I would like to practice for a motherboard death and drive death. Can I do this by using a liveUSB system as to:
- Reformat the system drive and doing an install followed by importing my configuration file
- Remove the partition from one of the three data drives, and reconnect it to a working install?
I picture these would be separate tests. Would there be a better way to prepare myself for either of these two failures? My experience with backup/restore is that practicing recovery is well worth the time. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
