I have a 14t easystore as unassigned drive. So it is at /mnt/disks/easystore
then on the other pane on mc I have /mnt/disk1/Media
So I am copying everything from easystore to the Media share
But I am confused as all the files seem to be going on disk1
so I'm not really understanding this virtual file system thing where three data drives are one big space.
Am I bypassing it by using mc?
The spare drive is what I have left over from other previous configurations which lately was OMV. Where I didn't use a SSD cache drive and now with this NAS appliance with 4 drive bays I have to make way for the cache and therefore a spare hard drive.
I have 4 hard drives that I am putting in a Lenovo EMC PX4-400D NAS appliance. What is the best way to configure them? My guess:
5.5tb parity
5.5tb data
4.5tb data
4.5tb spare
128gb SSD as cache
Is there another more optimum configuration?
Thank you.
If I had that link I would have put it here when I made the post. It's just one of many different things I have read while trying to decide how to configure my drives. Which are 4, 2 5tb and 2 4.5tb. I have several 128gb SSD drives. I am guessing I should make the 1 of the smaller drives and 1 of the larger for data, then 5tb for parity and slot 4 for cache. The device is a Lenovo EMC PX4-400D NAS appliance. Thank you.
I ran across a post that said that SSD cache is not available for basic unraid, but only on the more expensive options. I tried to find a reference to this in the description of what each level affords one but could not. Is this true?
