So basically, find a $20 ebay special, set it up so that the share is only using that drive. I like that it would also be parity protected. I'm a little new to unRaid, does excluding and including drives change the size of the share? I don't think I realized that a share size could be dynamically changed with includes and excludes. I mean, it makes sense that it would. If the drive fails, the small share would still show up via some redundant processes right?

Moving from a ZFS system to unRaid and am looking for a possible solution to a share sizing/quota issue. I need to create a share (something that a desktop can mount with SMB) that is around 100GB. Technically, I think it can be less than 1TB, but if I'm keeping what we have, it's 100GB. Previously, this was solved with a ZFS command: zfs set quota=100G tank1/home/small_drive which actually created a new mount point with the reduced size off an existing directory (I love zfs :0). I could then mount that in samba and have the user see a 100GB share. Any ideas on how to create a similar thing in unRaid? Thanks for any advice. p.s. I found this, which describes a possible workaround for the problem, but creating a sparse file and mounting in unRaid doesn't excite me (if that workaround is even an option here).....Maybe buying a 100GB disk or possibly doing some kind of partitioning? Would be nice to have it be a "normal" member of the array if possble.
