Exactly. My TrueNAS machines haven't had a monitor attached |
| 9 |
since they were built. Everything you need is there. It's more a |
| 10 |
storage appliance than a computer. |

Maybe I'm missing the point but why would you want LVM on a |
| 18 |
storage pool? If I'm doing backups I just want space. I let TrueNas |
| 19 |
put it on disk and give it back if asked. Why put another layer |
| 20 |
of indirection? |

If you're intending to use it as simple NAS - i.e. - the only copy |
| 23 |
of some data on your network - then possibly LVM might |
| 24 |
be interesting, but then you need a second TrueNAS box |
| 25 |
to back that up. NAS as a mountable data location is |
| 26 |
different than NAS doing backups which is what I thought |
| 27 |
this thread was about. What am I not remembering? |
