Ummm.... Okay. Let's start again. Let's forget the HDD. I have an array with 2 SSD (1 Data, 1 Parity). In Unraid it's better to mirror it in a pool, right? Normally array is XFS and Pool is btrfs FS and that sounds not compatible. How can I move everything (all shares with all existing data etc.) without loosing data to a pool? What should I do with which disk?
-
How could it import the data, when it's not mountable? I am very confused. You said I should create a mirror pool. Is there a manual to migrate this? I am working in IT, but I am new to UNRAID. I don't get what to do, to migrate the stuff from the shares from array to pool.

Umm... I don't get it. I removed the parity drive, created a pool with 2 devices, selected the Ex-Parity Drive.... and then? It says it's unmountable. And if I try to remove the main disc from the array, it's the same thing. Unmountable. Could you help me with more details?

Thanks for your answer. Some questions about that: So, I should better reconfigure it from array with parity to cache with mirror? What is the best way to do it with keeping the configuration and data of the VMs and Dockers? If I would like to have the 8 TB HDD for Backups, why is it better to keep it external? ( I would like to save Backups of Unraid Data/Dockers/VMs to it) Best regards

Sorry, I edited the post. It's "best practice". It's common usage in Veeam Community.

Hi everyone. I am new to Unraid. My setup is on a QNAP-NAS, with 2x 4TB SSD (1 Parity/1Data). I've installed 7 Dockers (several more pinned and coming soon), some plugins and 2 VMs. Now I've read (i don't find the link right now), that using a SSD for Parity is a bad idea in Unraid. So.... in my shelf is a 8 TB HDD. What I've read sounds in my head like: Use the two 4TB SSDs as Cache and copy it every night to the HDD. Now my question(s): - What is the best practice with my setup as mentioned above? - If it is neccessary for best practice to include the HDD and especially to use the SSDs as cache instead array: How do I change that? Thanks a lot to anyone here.
