PeteAsking Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I see the new version of unraid can make a zfs pool like "zpool create -m /mnt/SSD SSD sdx" and it is seen by unraid and usable etc. Can a similar thing be done for btrfs and have the possibility of creating raid1c3 for example with mismatched disk sizes? Is this possible or not at this time? P Quote Link to comment

Yes, that's been possible for a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Click on the pool, scroll down to the balance section and choose "convert to raid1c3" then click on "balance" 1 Quote Link to comment
PeteAsking Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 Click on the pool, scroll down to the balance section and choose "convert to raid1c3" then click on "balance"Ok do you mean like a cache pool? If so can a cache pool act as the only disk for a share? As in the share “isos” only exists in this pool? Am I understanding correct? I have never used a cache pool before.

Solution JorgeB Posted October 18, 2022 Solution Share Posted October 18, 2022 Yes and yes, set the share to cache=only and select that pool. 1 Quote Link to comment

One last question - can I make unraid mount the drive with compression enabled for this pool?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 You'd need to use the CLI, compression is not yet supported with the GUI. 1 Quote Link to comment
