Unable to create a cache drive in 7.0.1

Featured Replies

Let me start with I am New to Unraid but unless I am screwing something up badly, this does not look right to me. Currently there is no array or any data of any kind on the server, just prepping and configuring things for now.

 

I am trying to create a downloads cache with 1 drive, I select 1 slot, it shows 1 slot, I select one drive, it shows 1 drive, I start the array and apparently it shows a cache pool with 2 drives (cannot even change it to 1), it recognizes the 800GB drive but shows it as 600GB with 6MB used and 400GB free (I clearly cannot do Math either as this clearly does not add up either) .

 

None of it makes any sense to me. Would anyone be able to help me figure out what I am missing or doing wrong here? Any help is appreciated.

 

BTW, I created a system cache with 2 drives and that one is showing just fine.

Make sure you erase the drive while creating the new pool, there an "erase pool" button if you click the first pool device, after assigning it , but before starting the array, it could be importing an old pool, or post the diagnostics.

Thanks for the suggestion. I erased the pool and also changed the FS to zfs and formatted the drive which solved the problem.
