Unraid 7.3.0 - Use entire Intel Optane M10 16GB drive space for internal boot partition?

Featured Replies

I am planning to move to internal boot. I have bought 2x Intel Optane M10 16GB drives for this purpose. A mirrored internal boot pool.

I am watching The Uncast Show's video on this topic before upgrading and this raises some questions https://youtu.be/sruWM1PqjVo?t=495

SpaceInvader One is using a 2TB nvme drive and his screen is showing this:

Each bootable pool contains two volumes

  • a system boot pool volume used by unraid

  • a storage pool for general data

...

Boot reserved size

  • minimum is 4GB, maximum is 931GB (50% of the smallest selected drive)

Q1: What's the point of that storage pool for general data? Does that mean, when using Optane 16GB drives, I will get an 8GB storage pool under Pool Devices?

Q2: Why is 50% of the smallest drive the maximum amount the boot partition can be? Why can't we use the entire drive size for this? Just like with USB drives, right?

Maybe I am missing something here...

Video was before everything was ready, you can select to dedicate the whole pool size to boot in the release version. Usual problem when relying only on video content.

Video should really be removed at this point.

Yeah a whole lot of information since that video was released... when it wasn't even in beta yet.
