NVMe M.2 Drive shows as unassigned - need as cache drive

[Ruckus42]

I have a 2TB NVMe drive installed directly on my motherboard. I was expecting to be able to select it as my cache drive, but it's stuck as unassigned. Anyone know why?

 

Thanks!

You should post your system's diagnostics zip file in your next post in this thread to get more informed feedback.  It is always a good idea to post this if your question might involve us seeing how you have things set up or to look at recent logs.  Take the diagnostics after you have tried to repeat the problem so we have an entry in the logs to see what happened.

Got an answer on Discord:

 

You can... stop the array, click the Add Pool button, set it with 1 slot, assign the SSD to that slot. Then do the format option that will appear in the Array Operations section after you next start the array. And FYI, unRAID ships with a base section called Unassigned Devices, for any devices that haven't been assigned to the array or a pool. To make the Unassigned Devices (UD) section more useable, you need to install the UD, UD+ and UD Preclear plugins from the Apps. tab. Then enable `destructive mode` in Settings --> User Utilities --> Unassigned Devices.
