June 10, 201412 yr Hi, Apologies if I posted this question in the wrong forum, I'm only looking at unraid because of Xen so for me it makes sense to post it here. I'm looking for now to setup unraid on my n54l. I've got 2 x 2tb disk which I would setup one as parity, I also have a 128gb SSD that I want to use purely for the VM's Eventually I plan on adding another disk to data array, but for now this will do. Question is, does the free license cover this. Its just a bit confusing, its not a cache disk, but not sure if the licensing would see it as such. Thanks
June 10, 201412 yr Yes, you should be fine with the free license. If you are only using the SSD for VMs then it will not show as an array or cache disk. You will see it in the UnRAID GUI as an unassigned disk where it can sit forever.
June 10, 201412 yr Although you should probably not consider unraid for xen, seeing as xen is going away soon enough
June 10, 201412 yr Although you should probably not consider unraid for xen, seeing as xen is going away soon enough What do you mean it's going away?
June 10, 201412 yr Xen is being replaced by kvm Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Is there a forum post explaining the switch?
June 10, 201412 yr Yes somewhere in the beta6 status thread, dont have time to lopk it up though. But basicly in the "very near" future xen is replaced by kvm and docker Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

You will see it in the UnRAID GUI as an unassigned disk where it can sit forever. Can confirm you can do this. You setup the SSD, formatted to Ext4 and the mounted, etc. with the VMs. The instructions are around here for doing this. Means no cache drive and thus no requirement for the licence. Waiting for things to change over and settle down again before I have another crack at it.
June 10, 201412 yr Author Although you should probably not consider unraid for xen, seeing as xen is going away soon enough Where did you see that? I've seen people unhappy with the fact their chosen hypervisor isnt being used, but nothing saying unraid was moving. for example. there was this for the next update: We also ran into a critical bug issue with the 3.14.4 Linux kernel and Xen network driver. Crashes the VIF and there is no workaround at this time. The updated Linux kernel + Xen 4.4 release will be next week, but instead of 3.14.4, it will be 3.12.20. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
