Hollandex Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Not really sure where this type of topic should live. Hopefully, this is the correct spot. I'm curious why our only option for redundant cache pools is BTRFS. For instance, why couldn't we use XFS and let it handle the parity like it does with the array? Not against BTRFS. Just curious why that's the only option provided for cache pools. Quote Link to comment
BRiT Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Path of least resistance. XFS doesn't support that functionality natively, where as BTRFS does, and unraid doesn't support multiple arrays which would be needed for your parity driven cache pool. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Zfs will be available as an option soon. 1 Quote Link to comment

I really want to know? MrGrey. Quote Link to comment

My thread history will tell the tale. haha Long story short, I've never had much luck with it. Always getting file corruption errors, to the point of having to format the entire cache pool. Which sort of negates the redundancy of BTRFS if I'm having to format the whole thing anyway. RAM seems to be the culprit, even though 12 hours of memtest show the RAM is working just fine. So yeah, BTRFS seems neat and apparently works great for 99% of the people that use it. But not me. Quote Link to comment
