maxwell Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 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? Quote Link to comment
Solution JorgeB Posted March 24, 2022 Solution Share Posted March 24, 2022 Set pool slots to one and XFS will be available. Quote Link to comment

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. 1 Quote Link to comment
