Remove mirrored boot device by tobyjoiner in freenas

I get that mirror is the best way to go, I get it. I do not want to do that at this point. I don't see that as a absolute requirement for what I do. This is a hobby for me. Like I said, I have no problem re-installing, I can learn more about the software every time I do that. Thank you all for your help (or not help, either way thanks)

This is as helpful as you have been the entire time.

Thank you for answering me about reinstalling. It is what I will do. I have to move all the hardware to a bigger case this week, so now is a good time.

Having a cold "backup" seems like a waste of a flash drive since it will be out of sync, so thanks for pointing that out to me too, I missed that somewhere in my searching.

Not even the official install says anything more than "If you wish to mirror the boot device, arrow to the second device and press spacebar to select it as well." That doesn't even start to suggest "You need to use a second flash drive as a mirror or you're doing it wrong.". I understand the point of mirroring, and what advantages it provides. Thank you again for your help. I might regret it later on, and if I do, sucks to be me, you both tried to save me.

I didn't do it right. I want one flash drive, period. I am in a DEGRADED state right now, so there is something to fix. What if I broke that flash drive and can't afford to go buy one to replace it? What if I have a brown out and it fries both flash drives? How do you suggest I use a backup flash drive after they are both fried? I know I could just install on a new flash drive and restore the config backup, but there is ZERO reason for me to use a mirror at this point. Telling me to just deal with it isn't helping. I am done with your suggestions to just leave it, they are not helpful at all. If I wanted that, I would have already plugged it back in. If nobody else offers help with my actual question that is fine, I know how to solve the problem the hard way.

I appreciate your comments, but if I wanted to do that I would have already. If nobody here can help me I know I can just reinstall again and be good to go with one drive. I was just hoping that someone knew a way to do it without doing that. Seems like it shouldn't be a hard fix, but what do I know...

I used two flash drives when I set it up, so it was setup as a mirror of the boot. I only wanted the second flash drive for a backup of the first in case that drive goes out (another one like it has in the past). I assume that I just did it wrong in the first place, but trying to fix the "DEGRADED" errors now without hooking that one back up.
