October 20, 20232 yr Hi i am searching for a way to format a drive in ext4 in Unraid. I need ext4, because the drive needs to read/write/change a lot of very small files. XFS performs really bad with 7TB data on it. I did not find options in the GUI for this. Only other filesystems are available. (NTFS worked a little bit bettter, but I would say that is no good option für linux.) I tried it manual over the command line but I still can only chose format in unassigned devices. I am not sure if my commands are right: Quote parted /dev/sdh "mklabel gpt" cfdisk /dev/sdh mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdh Thank you very much for your help!
