EArroyo Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Is there any other filesystem I can use besides BTRFS for cache pool of 2 SSD drives? I have had very bad luck with BTRFS, power outages have corrupted my cache drive and it can't recover, what good is it when it can't recover? Can I do a RAID-1 xfs? Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 No. BTRFS is it. Alternatively you can use the ZFS plugin to create a ZFS pool but it's managed via the command line instead of via the GUI and doesn't directly participate in the share system But, IMO every single computer (whether a server or not) requires a UPS. Far far too much corruption happens on every OS in the event of sudden loss of power Quote Link to comment

Far far too much corruption happens on every OS in the event of sudden loss of power I do have a UPS, I guess I need to plug it in on my unRAID box and enable the feature to shutdown at certain percentage. Luckily I backup my /mnt/cache/custom folder and VM images every 6 months, I can recover, but it's a waste of time. I feel I had better luck on xfs single cache drive, less damage on power outages. This server is at my mother's house and I didn't know about the power outages until it was too late and noticed my VM's were offline but I could connect to unRAID and saw "Could not start cache, no filesystem." Could you please point me in the right direction? I already have ZFS plugin installed, all I need are some How-To's to get me started doing a ZFS Raid-1 cache. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I'm not that guy. Best to google it or ask in the support thread Quote Link to comment
