February 13, 20233 yr Hi, I am new to Unraid and I find it a great platform. I have setup 2 different ssd's in my pool configuration, 1 to store all VM data and domains and 1 to store all docker and app data as well as system data. I have selected the cache pools accordingly, but for some reason it seems like all the data of the VM's (domains) are written in both the VM cache ssd as well as the docker & apps ssd. It looks like the data are being duplicated exactly on both ssd's, although I have defined different cache pools. Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?
February 13, 20233 yr Community Expert You are likely to get better informed feedback if you attach your system’s diagnostics zip file to your next post in this thread. Did you at any point have both these drives in the same pool? If so and they were not correctly wiped then it is possible at the btrfs level it is still treating them as a single pool.

Hi, thanks for the tip. As a new user to the forum, I will try and catch up quickly. I have downloaded the diagnostics file, but want to ask if it is safe to attach that info publicly (does the file not contain any sensitive personal information or public IP's)? I have used SpaceInvader's video guide how to create these shares and then clear the indexes of each folder. I followed it exactly the way he demonstrated it, so there should be no issue, as the process made perfect sense. I appreciate the assistance from this forum.

It should be safe as what has commonly been considered personal information has been anonymized. Having said that the files in the zip are all text files so you can examine them yourself if you want to make sure you are happy to post them.

I am still early in my server build as I am currently experimenting with it and I have not all the drives installed yet. If I need to wipe it and start fresh, then maybe now is a good time. My aim for this server is: 1. 2x 6TB parity drive 2. 3x 6TB array drives 3. 3x SSD's for the cache pool (1x1TB for Docker & Apps, 2x 1TB for VM's to have redundancy) Currently I only have 3 SSD's installed (1 for VM Pool, 1 for Docker & Apps and 1 for the array for testing).

February 13, 20233 yr Community Expert Solution Both pools are in fact the same pool with both devices in it, stop array, unassign both pool devices, start array, stop array, assign both pool devices to the same pool, start array, stop array, unassign the device you want to remove from the pool (leave it unassigned for now), start array, once the pool is re-balanced you can stop the array and assign the other device to the other pool, it will need to be formatted before use.

I guess I did not wait for the pool balancing before assigning it to different pools. Is that correct? Edited February 13, 20233 yr by ThreeFoxCo Edit
February 13, 20233 yr Community Expert If you remove a device from a pool and immediately assign it to a different pool you'll get that, first it needs to be removed form the original pool.
