October 11, 20241 yr Hi, I'm a very new Unraid user, but absolutely loving it. I've just started building up my main server, and I bought some NVME to act as cache drives. I've created two pools with them - one as a single "drive" and one as a dual mirrored "drive". But I can't see anywhere to allocate my shares to use the cache. In the settings I can see that the flag "Enable User Share Assignment" is set to yes. When I watch a YouTube video, I can see a drop down selection on the Shares tab. But that dropdown isn't there for me. I've formatted the pools, and they look fine in the Main display with green lights. What am I missing? Many thanks, Richard.

Have you tried setting a pool as Primary Storage for a share (and array as Secondary Storage if you want caching enabled).
