Of course there are preferences in sense that it does look nice if freebs= d-boot is in front. Also, if you do have mirror setup, it is some work, but y= ou can re-arrange mirror side partitioning (with usual cautions like having s= crub done, having backup, having third disk would be helpful). I have a raidz with 3 SSDs on it IIRC. Removing the SSD from the pool and re= adjusting partitions would probably be ok, but I'm not really keen on doing p= otentially destructive things like that, unless I absolutely have to do them= :/.. Thanks! -Ngie=
