So I've recently set up a new server for UNRAID that has 4 4TB Seagate IronWolfs & a 500GB WD M.2 NVMe SSD. I'm using the latest version of UNRAID, 6.9.2 & trying to add the M.2 drive as a cache drive, however I'm not seeing any options anywhere on the page where you add drives/set up pools to add a cache drive. I thought it was supposed to be the last option in the drives list but it's nowhere on the page.

 

Thanks

You select the option to add a pool, and give the pool any name you like.   You then configure at the individual share level whether they should use the pool for caching purposes.

 

you were probably looking at something that predates Unraid 6.9 releases as in those days there was only a single pool allowed and the name was fixed as ‘cache’.

Did you stop the Array first ?

If so, there should be a Add Pool button on the Main page.
