brainbudt Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) Hey guys, Is it possible to put all drives in a pool and none in the array? or should a pool always be like a cache? Edited March 1, 2021 by brainbudt Quote Link to comment

There must be a minimum one array data disk to start Unraid. It could be an old junk USB stick that isn't actually used, but it must occupy a disk slot. Quote Link to comment

Thank you for the question answer. so if I understand it correct it should still be used as a cash pool and not as default storage Quote Link to comment

Can you restate what you are wanting to accomplish? Quote Link to comment

It is just that unRaid insists in there being at least 1 drive defined as being part of the array even if it is never used for storing any files. Quote Link to comment
