Flag RAIDZ1 and other mirrored pools as protected

[VanGoghComplex]

I prefer to keep my appdata and domains shares on mirrored SSD pools with exclusive access. Unraid flags these as "unprotected" in the UI, I assume because they don't have secondary storage on the array. I understand the logic but the mirroring is a form of protection too.

 

Green dots everywhere, please. 😁

Mirror counts as protected, but if you have some files for the share on unprotected storage, it won't be green.

 

You can see how much of each disk or pool is used by each share by clicking Compute... for the share on the User Shares page.

At least, it works that way with btrfs raid1. Don't use zfs so don't know about that.

Hm... I think I misinterpreted the orange text on the main page as "unprotected" when it just means cache only. Disregard. User error.

If you mouseover you will see that "unprotected" is the right interpretation.

 

I have one pool with only a single nvme and shares on that pool are unprotected.

 

I have another pool with 2x500G SSDs btrfs raid1, and shares on that pool are protected.

 

Did you check to make sure your share has no files elsewhere?

I did, and they have no files elsewhere. They are flagged as protected in the Shares tab, but I was referring to the Shares "widget" on the Dashboard tab, where my two cache-only shares show up in orange instead of blue text.
