So a bit if a update, I have been fighting this all week, I isolates the dead drive in truenas , stopped and outted the drive . allowed the system to resilver then put in a new drive to make a hot spare and everything was running smooth. The next day is when all the goofy stuff was going on with the deck so I cam home and started making back ups for truenas ect. went to bed and everything was working well. While at work the following day I started getting notifications from Up time robot telling me that the links going to my hexos was down . Logged into the deck and server not online. After some trouble shooting I had found that I no longer had tailscale access nor could i ping it from any internal computer. Got home and got into the truenas interface and rebooted the server. Once I gained UI access it showed it was trying to resilver the pool again, not thinking about I let it ride out. Well it was stuck at 18% silvering for 2 days so I started to try and delete the array and start over "just move all my data back." AND now I am at a point where im just going to rebuild the OS and all because the only access that I have is Truenas interface

2020 Mk5 Supra for me as my daily. Just a few CF bits, Exhaust and downpipe, CAI and wheels, thats about it.

It's not a backup, it's a mirror, meaning everything is stored on both drives at the same time and any change is written to both drives, there is never a delta between both drives. Meaning there is not a first/second drive, it's on both and any one drive can die (or unplug for that matter) and accept Truenas shouting vary angrily at you that 1 drive is missing, everything is still working as if nothing ever happened. You don't even need to do anything at this point, Truenas is handling everything automagically. Once you got a new replacement drive, you put it in, setup the mirror in Truenas/Hexos again and you got full redundancy again.

Can confirm, that's what I did and I have mirrored boot drives working flawlessly.

in the TrueNAS, you could juat import the existing pool, and your data still intach.. But as right now in beta, HexOS ignores all of existing pool and data and treat it as a new drives and wipes everything. Lets hope the developers acknowledge this and let us import the existing pool.
