I am curious about the expandability and behaviour of pool devices (6.9.2). My current setup is the following: 3x3TB HDD System and Metadata in RAID 1 and Data in RAID 5, as it was recommended by Spaceinvader in one of his videos about Pool devices. He recommends RAID 5 for it is fault tolerant within itself. I use it for TimeMachine backups as I have had issues with speed and io bog-downs on the main array. My question is about what would happen in either of these scenarios: 1) One of the disks fails. Can I just swap it out and it will rebalance and recalculate appropriately? 2) I want to expand the size of the pool with a matching disk of equal size. Can I just add it to the pool and it should be automatically be added in an appropriate manner, or does it require moving all data and then setting up the pool device again?

I just discovered the same issue. Copying 300 GB to my BTRFS encrypted Cache (RAID 5) makes the IO Wait time go through the roof, rendering the server useless for the time of copying. It completely normalises after the transfer is complete. I am running 6.9.1. Happy to run tests and provide information, as I can see this thread has been open for a long time. I sympathise with you @CowboyRedBeard

Hi all, I seem to have stumbled across a peculiar problem. When I recently try to transcode/optimize a 4K video file (mp4, HEVC), the progress status indicates a negative percentage value. I remember it to have worked fine in the past. Other encodes appear to be working fine @1080p. Has anyone seen this before, and is it an issue with the GPU I am trying to use (GTX1050Ti)? What information can I provide that could help shed some light on this mystery? Thanks in advance! Setup: Unraid 6.8.0 (Nvidia) Plex 4.12.3 (linuxserver) GPU: GTX1050Ti
