August 20, 20214 yr Sorry for all the questions. I have a 500GB M.2 and a 1TB M.2 in my motherboard. I have my 500GB set to be my cache drive, and I wanted the 1TB drive to be my storage for all my dockers, plugins, apps, vm's, whatever else I wanted to run on this unraid thing. How would I go about setting my unraid to use my 1TB drive for all that stuff and still leave my 500GB as my cache drive?
August 20, 20214 yr Community Expert Similar to what I and many others do. I have 2x500G SSD "cache" pool for caching user share writes, and 1x256G nvme "fast" pool for dockers/VMs. Create another pool, assign you other drive to it, move appdata, domains, system shares to it. For more specific details based on your current configuration, go to Tools - Diagnostics and attach the complete Diagnostics ZIP file to your NEXT post in this thread.

Will that zip file have personal identifiable information in it? I don't want to post something on the internet with access accounts/passwords and IP's. I have a pool created for the 2 drives already, I'm just trying to tell unraid to use it. You say move the appdata, domain, and system shares to it, but how do I do that?
August 25, 20214 yr Community Expert Diagnostics anonymizes the information. There are no accounts/passwords in the diagnostics. The IPs are LAN IPs (or should be) so can't be accessed outside your LAN. Diagnostics contents are plain text, I encourage everyone to examine them, it can be educational.

I poked around in them a bit but definitely don't want to try and change things on my own. Cache is what I want for only cache, and Appstore (which I'm blowing away and recreating as Data) should be where all my docker containers, vm's, etc. go. If I'm reading correctly I have to spin down the array, unmount the disk, and remount it to rename it correct? I also noticed that all the date I'm copying to my array is going to 1 disk instead of being spread between all 3. I chose the option to use all the disks, so why is it only using one of my 3 drives to put data on? weechflix-diagnostics-20210824-1937.zip Edited August 25, 20214 yr by Squirreljester

I figured out that I can go into shares and assign what drive I want the shares to be, so I've done that for system, appdata, and domains to move them to my 1TB drive. Do I have to do any manual moves or will unraid move any data that's not on that drive over to that drive? Remember I'm a windows guy and not familiar with any kind of mapping or mounting stuff Linux might be doing.
