      Hopefully, I will be installing pfSense on a Mac Mini Server 2011 if the other SSD arrived before the weekend. I will have dual 128GB SSD and was planning on letting the auto-installer figure it out. I have read and reread this thread: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/112490/how-to-2-4-0-zfs-install-ram-disk-hot-spare-snapshot-resilver-root-drive/42

      Would the ZFS auto-installer produce this result? See image below.

      Also, would the auto-installing do this or would I need to type the command? See image below.

        The installer can setup a proper ZFS mirror for you, no need to run commands like that.

          Thank you Jim for responding...that's great news as I had spent lots of time trying to understand the pool and been a little worried.
