January 4, 20215 yr You just have to: stop the Array and add the drive in the Pool start the Array Go to Share and customize your shares Select the appropriate cache and how to use the pool (Yes for basic caching)
January 5, 20215 yr Author i still need help... here is the way I have it Would like to make the ssd drive the cache driver...
January 5, 20215 yr Community Expert Not recommended to have any SSDs in the parity array since they can't be written any faster than parity, can't be trimmed, and it is unclear whether some models might invalidate parity. Why are your disks formatted as reiserfs? That filesystem is strictly for backward compatibility with V5 and earlier versions of Unraid. Since you don't have much data on the array yet might as well start over since you are going to have to New Config and rebuild parity anyway to get that SSD out of the array. Is there anything important on the array that you don't still have another copy of? (You should always have another copy of anything important, parity is not a substitute for a backup plan.) You will need to format those disks to another filesystem and so their data will be gone.
January 5, 20215 yr Community Expert If possible before rebooting and preferably with the array started Go to Tools - Diagnostics and attach the complete Diagnostics ZIP file to your NEXT post in this thread.
January 10, 20215 yr Community Expert That looks good. If you think you might ever want to have multiple disks in cache pool you will need to reformat it btrfs instead of xfs.
