January 1, 20215 yr Hi, I've been running happily running unraid for over four years to host two Windows 10 gaming PCs. Performance is excellent and now that I'm running the VMs 100% on NVME I find that I don't use the array (2 * 5TB HDDs) at all. Any additional storage for the VMs is mapped to my NAS. I'd like to repurpose the HDDs elsewhere so is it possible to build and run an Unraid VM host without an array? I'm currently running ver 6.9.0-beta 30. Disc setup below. Thanks for any advice.
January 1, 20215 yr Community Expert You DO have to have at least 1 drive in the array. However if you never intend to store anything on it you could just use a small flash drive to satisfy this requirement.
January 1, 20215 yr Community Expert 1 hour ago, Elbows said: OK, thanks for clarifying. I think I'll add a feature request 🙂 You can try but since the workaround I gave is so trivial I cannot see it going anywhere as it is likely to be quite a lot of work on Limetech’s part to achieve this (assuming they are even interested).
January 2, 20215 yr On the other end, not everyone have a Pro licence and a useless usb drive just to make unraid happy does limit the number of effective drives.
