XFS not listed as a filesystem type available for cache

[maxwell]

Hello,

I use to have an SSD in my Unraid build, but I needed a larger drive so I changed to an NVME. However when I went to clear and format the drive my only option for filesystem was BTRFS. I use to run BTRFS on my old SSD but opted not to after a while because of the excessive writes and reads the system would make to the drive. Using the cache drive in XFS seemed to solve this issue. However, I am not given this option for my NVME drive. Does anyone know a reason for this?

Set pool slots to one and XFS will be available.

Thanks, I think that might work, because I definitely had two devices listed, I changed it to one. But now I'm going to have to go through the process of changing my filesystem

I guess the idea is that XFS is not supported for cache pool, which would be why the option wasnt available.

XFS is supported for pools, but only with a single member of the pool.

 

Multi drives pools use BTRFS RAID modes, so XFS is not available.
