Looking for some advice. My current Unraid array already has 36 drives so its at the Unraid capacity for drives. I have an additional 12 drives that I'm looking to use only for Chia plots that are sitting in my unassigned drives. I either was thinking of passing them all through as individual plot locations to the container (creating a separate parameter for each, etc.) or passing them all through to a VM. I am just looking to run the full node and harvester on my unraid server and have my other servers be plotting and moving to the plot locations.
My two concerns I have is how the plotters on my other servers will know which drive has free space out of the 12 and managing those sound like a pain. I was considering using Stablebit DrivePool in a windows VM to have all the drives balanced and accessible from a single share and have the full node and harvester running on the same windows VM. That way my plotters will only need to write to a single share.
What would you guys do with this setup?
