Default directories structure for Unraid 7 "No Array" setup

[YujiTFD]

Hi there.

 

Fresh Unraid 7.0.0-beta2 setup, 5 HDDs raidz1 + NVMe cache drive for docker and VMs. Since there are no array, no default folders has been created,

I've manually assigned appdata, isos, domain and system folders to the cache device and now I get a warning from FCP plugin:

 

Please, advise a correct algorythm for creating correct folders structure for my config.

They should have been once you start the docker/VM services, was this really a fresh install or an upgrade from v6.12?

[YujiTFD]

Fresh from new unraid installer. When I start Docker/VM services system reports it has no corresponded folders in order to function properly.

But did you start the services? The shares will be created.

Yes, I know, I've seen it during 6.12.10 setup, but as for 7.0.0 b2 - no shares were created after array started.

By default Docker vDisk location points to /mnt/usr/system/docker/docker.img, but with pure ZFS pool there is no array, therefore - no /mnt/usr directory, Docker page says "Path does not exist". If I edit location to /mnt/cache/system/docker/docker.img and start Docker service - corresponded directories appear, but FCP plugin reports "Share system set to not use the cache, but files / folders exist on the cache drive". I'm here because of this.

The /mnt/user folder isn't integral to the array or pools, it's the user share structure aggregated from the root folders on all pools and array disks.

 

It's not tied to the array.

This is normal before the service is started, but it will create the shares in storage in this order:

 

-it will look for a pool called cache first and create the shares there

-if no pool named cache exists, but there are other pools, they will be created in the first pool by alphabetical order

-if no pool exists, they will be created in the array

Okay, I disabled user share in settings, FCP's warnings gone. I got the idea, thank you.
