Yes, but pools are not really useful for a Chia farm IMO.

Probably not, unless Unraid greatly increases the number of allowed disks in the array (or allows multiple arrays). I'm migrating Plex and other normal NAS duties from my Synology to the main Unraid array. While using unassigned devices for a Chia farm.

The Disk X label in the array is useful because you can control which disks are assigned to which slots, making them line up to their position in the server. The Dev X label in UD however is useless (from an organizational standpoint) because we have no control over which disks each id is assigned to. Saying it is "much more difficult" may have been an overstatement. But currently 12, with another 45 bay JBOD incoming. And once I'm all setup and running, it probably won't matter much. But if I need to unmount a specific disk later on, ctrl+f will be my friend, because finding it in a list that is not sorted in any way relative to it's physical position will be much slower. I label each disks partition in a way that identifies its location in my server, i.e. 'b00d03'. In a perfect world, an option similar to the "show partitions" switch, that instead hid the device and showed only the partitions (and sorted by partition label/mountpoint) would be ideal.

Any chance this could be made optional? I'm new here, but don't find the Dev X label to be actually useful in any way because it appears to me to be assigned completely randomly. Before updating this plugin, my unassigned devices were sorted in the order in which they are connected to the backplane in my server, and then the devices connected directly to SATA ports. They did occasionally change order slightly on reboot, depending on what spun up first, so some consistent sorting is welcome. But, in my case at least, sorting by Dev X is basically just random and makes identifying specific devices much more difficult. Edit: If I were making a wish list, sorting by mount point would actually be ideal for my use case.
