CEH1934 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Having tried FreeNAS I decided UNRAID was better for me. I installed 6.9.0-RC2 and so far I have found it to be excellent, Settings and configuration that was more complicated on FreeNAS, like UPS and the time zone, are so easy and simple in UNRAID. The same applies to the disk and array setup. I did find one aspect of the disk configuration that doesn't make sense. It may still be being fine tuned. I wanted to try setting up a multi-disk pool (parity & 3 data) and that was easy. However, I couldn't go any further, to formatting and parity creation. UNRAID said the array had no disks assigned, and wouldn't proceed. It seems wrong to have to assign at least one disk to the array to enable a multi-disk pool. It's not a major issue for me -- I have gone back to a 4-disk array for now. Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Is largely historical that you have to have at least one drive in the main array. However if you are not going to store anything there you could just use a small flash drive to satisfy this requirement. Quote Link to comment
