wayner Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I don't think that some of the docs have been fully updated for 6.12, especially since you can use ZFS for cache pools and the docs don't reflect that. For example: Quote Note: Details will need to be added for ZFS file systems after Unraid 6.12 is release with ZFS support built in. And: Quote If you want a multi-device pool then the only supported format for this is BTRFS. If it is already in BTRFS format then you can follow the procedure below for adding an additional drive to a pool Quote Link to comment

I already have one formatted as ZFS and want to add a second one as ZFS. Do I just follow this (https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/storage-management/#adding-disks-to-a-pool) but change BTRFS to ZFS? Edited September 27, 2023 by wayner Quote Link to comment

It needs to be either btrfs or ZFS to have that capability. Quote Link to comment
Morne Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 Thanks for the reply. So it looks like the Files system is BTRFS. So the whole idea is to remove the old Cache drive and replace it with a Bigger and newer SSD drive. The old Drive is giving errors. Quote Link to comment
