Pandemic

I'm trying to install the bitcoin core app and it recommends not using a disk on the array. I've got a disk installed (SDL) but I have no idea how to select it. Just curious if anyone has any suggestions, I realize this isn't unraid specific. Thanks

Thanks for that clarification.

Ok, so it seems like I need to make every share a minimum of secure.

I'm trying to set up a user that will have read only permissions. For some reason the only options available are R/W and I can not figure out how to change that. The share is public - maybe that's why. I see a private share with read only access. Any tips would be great. Thanks

The disk I want to use is DEV_2 but this is not showing up. How can I select a disk outside of the array?

Holy crap, thanks for that. I would not have figured out the magic spell otherwise.

Sorry in advance. How the heck do I install this? I don't see a link or download option anywhere I've looked.

For sure, I just wanted to make sure Shares were the best way to proceed. My NAS uses pools for essentially the same thing as unraid uses shares. Update is essentially complete. I just have to go down the high water, most free, fill up rabbit hole again.

I've got one cache drive in XFX and has about 1.08 GB used. Disk 1 is in BTRFS and using 3.7MB and the other disks are in XFS using 27.9GB. I'm just surprised by that. I currently have no shares set up and no pools other than the cache drive. I've redone this box in an effort to set it up more effectively. Are you saying if I wanted a directory that stored large amounts of data it's better to set it up as a pool or a share?

I'm somewhat perplexed here. I've formatted all disks and cache into XFS and noticed the default used space for that format is 27.9GB whereas the BTRFS is 3.70MB?! That's a pretty massive difference.

by pools, do you mean shares? I've got a few shares using multiple disks.

i dont know enough about the different formats to be honest.

I backed up my entire box and now I'd like to reformat all disks. Ideally I was thinking about preclearing them again just to stress test them. What format is ideal at this point?

I removed the "-" and it seems that did the trick - thanks for that advice!

I've been an unraid user for the past 7-8 years and it's typically run quite well. I've updated my old core2duo machine to the following: i3-10100 cpu Gigabyte z590 ud ac motherboard 32gb ram Same Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 x2 15 SATA bays Now, I'm having a massive issue configuring the motherboard to boot from the Unraid USB. I've tried legacy support but nothing is successful so far. Do I need to focus on anything regarding the Unraid USB drive or is it all motherboard BIOS specific?

Can we get a poll on who uses what?
