February 10, 20215 yr I've installed UnRAID on a QNAP NAS without opening it up to remove the DOM. I want to ensure that the DOM and its contents remain intact in case I ever want to derepurpose it back to being a QNAP again. The WebUI seems to offer no easy way to hide the DOM from UnRAID so I've marked it as read-only. It occurs to me that I might also mark it as pass-though but pass it through to nothing. Does this make sense? Will this achieve my aim? -- Chris

It will still (however) count as a device in terms of the unRaid licence limits and I do not think you can stop,that. As to marking it as pass-through for the Unassigned Devices plugin that DOES make sense as it will stop the plugin from attempting to mount it. The fact it is never really passed through to a VM is irrelevant and it will help stopping accidents.
February 10, 20215 yr Author Thanks, @itimpi. I'll follow that through. BTW, I have a Pro licence---I'm not trying to limit my drive count. -- Chris
