Hello everyone,

I have just started my server under Unraid and I would like to consult your expertise in order to start on the right foot on my config... I want to run docker and VMs on two SSD drives for speed and the rest on array, so here's my work so far: 

- Array: 

      - Parity: 12TB disk

      - Storage: 6TB disk, but it will soon have little brothers. 

- Virtualization pool: 

      - 1TB SSD disk

      - 1 TB SSD disk

- Cache : 

      - Nvme 1Tb SSD disk

 

Thank you in advance for your advice, it would be better to change everything until I have stored my data on it. 

 

So let me clarify that I have hijacked my original folders as appdata on my pool for now. But they appear as unsecured. This means that they apparently don't fit into the parity. 

Please let me know if this is a problem for the future. I plan to install regular VM backups and docker afterwards anyway...

Another similar question: I noticed that for my containers (logically in appdata), a reference was made to 30.67 Gb, which is the size of my system USB key. 

So I don't quite understand, aren't these containers stored on my key? 

Thank you for these clarifications, which will help me get organized for the years to come!

That just means that the pool is not redundant, it's a single device pool.

That refers to the total installed RAM in the server.

 

And in case you didn't notice, the second pool is not yet formatted.

 

Thank you for your comments, I've corrected them straight away. In fact, after working on it for two or three days, I couldn't see the obvious anymore! 

If there are no other comments, I don't think the configuration is too aberrant, so I'm going to get down to business! 

Thank you very much for checking!
