Hi, I have a newly installed unRaid machine with one SSD in the array, four HDDs as a ZFS pool and two nvmes for the cache. I started it up and there is an orange triangle next to isos. How do I go about troubleshooting it? Thanks.

Thank you for your thorough explanation @MAM59. I still want to try ZFS for my use case. So, honestly, I am REALLY confused now. This is the first time I work on a NAS and have difficulty getting my head around it. I believe I don't have a good understanding of UNRAID and, by extension, NAS systems. My original intention was to install UNRAID and set up a 4-disk ZFS array (raidz1). I tried it 3 times and need to change my approach. Here is what I'm thinking. Since creating a ZFS array is not possible, I create a 1 disk array with a 128G USB and use XFS format!! Then, I add a pool with all four 8TB HDDs and use a ZFS-encrypted format to be mirrored with 1 group of 3. Or I can put one of the 8TB HDDs as a disk array, XFS; and assign the other three HDDs to the newly formed pool. Does that solve my problem? Do you guys think I have the right approach?

I did. After I created the Array, it said the disks are Unmountable. I gave me the option to format it which I did. The fs was XFS. The very first time I tried to create the pool, it asked me to preclear the disks which took about 24 hours. This issue happened even then. But I have since reused the disks and formatted them but haven't preclear them again.

Thank you for the prompt response. tower-diagnostics-20240226-1843.zip

About a week ago I set up the UNRAID machine but I can't create a ZFS Array. I have four 8TB Seagate Ironwolf Pro HDDs. I follow the prompt. Assign one disk to parity and three to the array. I click on each one and switch the FS to ZFS-encrypted. It take about 15 hours to create the parity but for some reason they are Unmountable: Volume not encrypted. I tried the whole process 3 time in the past week but don't know what I'm doing wrong. But every time I failed, I recreated the USB and started over. I have installed the following apps: Unassigned Devices Unassigned Devices Plus (add-on) Unassigned Devices Preclear Fix Common Problems I also created a ZFS cache pool with my 2 nvme drives (mirrored). Screenshot I'm including the output of fdisk -l and zfspool list for your information. I appreciate any help I can get.
