Hey all, decided to clean up my ragbag "servers' and make the switch to unRaid. I'm converting a GA-MA770T-UD3P (16gb, 4 x 4tb disks, a 120gb ssd) from win10 to unraid. That box presently hosts 2 ubuntu VM's and a few Dockers. Performance is good.
So here are my questions:
I've found directions on how to convert the Hyper-V VM's to KVM, but wanted to see if anyone has actually done this. Any pitfalls to be aware of?
Most of my data is movies/TV, large files that never change, unRaid seems perfect for that. My downloaders, SABnzbd and rtorrent, have a lot of disk I/O, with all the downloading and unpacking. Am I understanding correctly that I can use the SSD as a cache to reduce the load on the array?
In the present arrangement, my VM's and dockers consume about 10gb of ram, leaving 6gb for the host. Is 6gb ram plenty for the unRaid system?
Thanks for the help!
