jclaydon1969 Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I am currently trying out unraid 7 beta 2 because i thought it might be easier to create a zfs ppol, but so far I'm just not getting it. When I was using unraid 6.10, i formatted two 4TB drives as zfs. My plan was to stripe these drives, then mirror it to the 8 TB drive i bought. but unfortunately, my system kept hanging, most likely due to overheating. and the data parity check, wouldn't get past 50% because every time i had to reboot, it would start at zero again. I needed this drive to hold around 7 tb of movie files so I wouldn't lose anything. I tried to finish the process in linux and import the finished drives into unraid by typing oot@Linux:~# zpool create media_and_movies stripe /dev/sdc /dev/sdd cannot open 'stripe': no such device in /dev must be a full path or shorthand device name i have tried doing this by drive id as well, but I get the same message. I'm obviously missing something simple, but for the life of me i don't know whatt Quote Link to comment

jclaydon1969 Posted July 19 Author Share Posted July 19 UPDATE: i finally managed to get a zpool of 3 disks mounted, but i think i still did it wrong because it will not allow me to create shares. first i formatted the drives as media 1, 2 and 3 then added those disks to a pool. when i create a share i select the z pool but hen i click add it doesnt show up tower-diagnostics-20240719-0734.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 You created three separate pools, is that what you wanted? Quote Link to comment

I was going to use a second 8TB drive i purchased as parity in the array.. Quote Link to comment
Solution JorgeB Posted July 24 Solution Share Posted July 24 You just need to create a new pool in the GUI, change to two slots, assign both disks, click on the first pool device, then erase, then set to zfs and stripe, then start he array and format the pool. Quote Link to comment
