How to use RAIDz1 from the very beginning?

Featured Replies

I've just built my little homelab with three 10TB SATA drives and I'm new to Unraid. I know there's already support for ZFS and I'd like to setup the drives with RAIDz1 but afaik I can't do it from the GUI. I've just setting up everything, so... is it possible to configure my system with that RAIDz1 config? (two drives usable, one for fault tolerance). I think I must do it from the terminal but... how? are there any guides on this?

You can do it from the GUI by creating a pool, but note that currently you need at least one data device assigned to the array, it can be an old flash drive.

Thanks (¿Gracias? Por tu nombre pareces español ;) ) Yes, I've done that and the new pool seems to be exactly what I was looking for. There's not much details about that: it shows that the pool with three 10TB drives has an available storage of 19.8TB, zfs filesystem and three drives, so I guess it's running with RAIDz1 as I wanted.

Close but no, Portuguese :)

 

You can click on the first pool device, then scroll down to the zpool status section and you'll see the pool config, but based on the stats it's raidz1.

I see. You're right, on the first part of data settings it shows "raidz", and then, down there, the pool status shows that "raidz1-0", so everything seems perfect.

 

Obrigado, Jorge!
