Using Immich across 2 drives.
I'm rebuilding my homelab and I'm just planning the storage atm.
MY current Immich config is just a simple LXC with the storage as a single disk from my ZFS Mirrored pool. It's a mechanical hard drive pool, not too fussed about the performance besides the sometimes high IO delay for OS tasks when that pool is getting hit hard.
I had an idea to install the OS onto one of my ZFS SSD pools, and then mount another disk from my Mirrored pool to the LXC for Immich to store everything on. But I'm a bit confused on how Immich would treat this setup compared to my previous setup.
The OS, docker, and everything else would be on the SSD whilst the uploaded media would be on the HDD pool. Would transcodes/thumbnails be stored on the SSD or HDD? Are there any issues I might face with this approach?
Thanks for the help!
edit: BOTH storage drives are attached to the physical machine, they're permanent
