July 19, 201114 yr I have attached a screenshot of what I'm seeing on the unMENU "Main" screen after adding my cache drive. What is the deal with sdg and sdg1. The drive was fully precleared before use. I saw something like this when I added the two hitachi data drives before they were made part of the array, but once they were formatted and in the array, it went away.
July 19, 201114 yr Easy... /dev/sdg is the device that accesses the entire drive (master boot record and ALL partitions) /dev/sdg1 is the device that accesses the first partition /dev/sdg2 would be the second partition if there was one. /dev/sdg3 would be the third partition, if it existed. etc.

If you were to use the "protected" partitions without going through the /dev/mdX devices you would not get the equivalent parity changes.
