Trying to create a file on disk via the file manager browser but it no longer gives me the option when i explore the disk, any one know why it would do this? thanks

figured it out. Steps I took; 1. Stop array 2. Removed disk from cachepool 3. Configured the cachepool for XFS. 4. Placed the disk back in the cachepool.

I've got a pool with just one drive in it for our cctv its a 3tb drive that's been on for nearly 9 years and thought it was time to upgrade it. I added in a 16tb to the pool and it made both unmountable when spun up. The original drive was in xfs file format. I thought no problem remove the second and it will get up and running like it was before the second drive was added, however it hasn't and now the original drive is unmountable. There's nothing on this drive particularly worth keeping however I was going to transfer things over recreate the shares then remove it. I know I could create a new pool add the new drive and go from there but I'm trying learn and understand why this happened and also how to fix. Can any one point me in the right direction?

Haha let me know if you and I’ll also keep you updated. Looks like a new vm by the looks of that post

Bump 😊😊

Hi all, i'm new to unraid and have been struggling with a few things. I managed to get a vm up and running with blue iris working and disk passed through working well. I then realised that i was using a virtual gpu. I stopped the vm and selected the igpu then things went bad. The vm wont boot (stays on the ufei boot screen) even if i select the virtual gpu. Any ideas how to get it working even with the virtual one so i can keep the cameras going? heres the settings i'm using. Thanks

Afternoon, I've been running a "home server" for the past 15 years since the windows media center days and now the current hardware i have isn't supported by windows 11 (i5 6500) I thought rather than throw it away I'd convert it for something else and learn about dockers etc. I need help working out how best to set up unraid. This is my current set up, windows on bare metal, 8gb of ram (thinking about upgrading to 32 for this project), os on 256gb nvme, storage of important docs/music (for plex) on a 4tb nvme, 4tb spinning disk for blue iris cctv. spare 500 gb ssd to add in I'd like to run a vm for the windows pc running blue iris, I'm assuming passing the 4tb spinning disk to the vm would be best for it to carry on recording to. I need the vm on the 500gb ssd drive (and docker things?) so do i create a cache pool for them to sit on? then do i create an array with the 256 and 4tb nvme to store the important docs on? is the array the only thing that gets drive protection or can the pool have that too? would this be the right way to set things up or is there a better way to set things up? Thanks!
