Yep, it was set to Yes. So I need to treat that setting as ephemeral by the sound of it. That is it won't be lost, but it can't be guaranteed to stay on the cache drive all the time as it might move to the array? So I should either use No, which will put data on the array or cache only, which would persist it on the cache. With the last option leading to no protection?

Not sure why but the contents of my Dropbox folder were deleted last night. I'd actually just cleared it out a few days ago using the web client to reclaim space. So it was pretty much empty apart from a few folders and a couple images the desktop client had grabbed from my phone. I use 2-factor auth for all the desktop and mobile clients that I connect to Dropbox. When I connected via unRaid I used the link and no 2-factor was required, which was a new one for me. So just after my desktop notified me that all the folders and images in my Dropbox had been deleted I decide to check the unRaid share. It was late, but I'm 99.99% certain that the Dropbox Docker data folder had disappeared off my cache drive. I decide to stop the unRaid Dropbox Docker until I could figure out what had happened. I was then able to restore the deleted files and folders via the web client and they all appeared back in my desktop dropbox folder. The unRaid Docker instance has remained off since this point and today I checked the appdata folder where the Dropbox data folder had disappeared from yesterday and it is now back there again. I think this is something to do with the fact that it ended up being on my cache drive. Should the cache drive not be used for Dropbox data and be considered ephemeral. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the appdata folder should be on the cache drive. Somehow I think my misunderstanding of this is why the folder disappeared. Can anyone shed any light on what they think I'm doing wrong. I followed these instructions to the letter to get it up and running: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=46401.msg443278#msg443278

Just a note here. I'm guessing that your laptop still has an integrated GPU in the processor as well as the standalone 980 GTX GPU. If so then I think you could get UNRAID working, but you'd need a few drives in order for everything to run correctly. Perhaps you could use an SD card for your cache drive. On your original question, I don't think you'll have as slick a way to tab between VM's as you do with Qubes and AFAIK your GPU can only be assigned to one machine at a time. I'd never heard of Qubes before. Might well be worth looking at for my Macbook Pro. Could be a way for me to run OSX and Windows and Linux side by side. Going to try it out. Think my hardware stacks up and has all the right extension. Thanks to OP for alerting me to its existence.
