I ended up in Vine Jail.

I hit Gold beginning of February, and the number of things I have ordered have dropped drastically due to the poor quality of what is around by the time I get to look at Vine.

(I'm still at like 54 items)

I apparently I have just forgotten with life stuff to do any reviews in like 2 months and finally found myself in Vine Jail. I did up like 15 reviews tonight so hopefully that will put me back up over 60%. I can pump out some of the rest this weekend.

All apparently because I actually had 5 Items of interest over 24 hours... Apparently I ordered like 6 items in the 6 weeks previous. (down from my high last fall of 2 items a day on average)

Anyone else been in Jail before? How long does it take to get out of it? The threshold is 60% yes?

Questions about VDEV and boot disk failure. (seperate questions)

So the short is... if my boot drive is dead how screwed am I? Having a Jellyfin server and a SMB.

How bad is having 2 Vdevs of different sizes (2 8TB mirrored 2 2TB mirrored) and can the data be merged to just one.

My TrueNAS sever is crashing constantly right now and I'm at a lot there is nothing in the logs. Memtest (if the system will run doesn't show anything) I'm pretty sure it is the boot drive but I don't know with certainty.

This all started when I installed 2 new 8TB drives to replace two previous 2TB everything got fixed but ever since the system has just been in a spiral of reboots. However this seems to mostly happen on the weekends.

At the current moment I literally can't keep it up long enough to check anything.

So the question becomes if I have to reinstall fresh on a new boot drive... how messed up will my Jellyfin, and SMB server be? Is there anyway to save that after the fact.

Question 2... and maybe it is related.

I had 2 vdev mirrored. both with 2TB drives. I upgraded one to 8TB drives (the two I bought were literally the only two I could find in town that weren't stupidly priced, I'm not spending 800 dollars for a 350 dollar drive.) That means I now have 1 vdev with two 8tb drives mirrored and 1 with two 2TB drives... mirrored. I realize this is a mismatch.

So is there anyway to remove the two 2tb drives and have that data move to the 8tb drives so it is just 1 vdev.

I don't want to mess with "guides" until I ask to be sure it is possible as my experience with guides lately has been... awful to say the least. Like adding new drives giving you all the instructions except... shut down apps that are running... It didn't occur to me because I was laser focused on the guide.

So the short is... if my boot drive is dead how screwed am I? Having a Jellyfin server and a SMB
