ianmott Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I can't seem to find anyone having already asked this question. Apologies if this has already been asked or documented elsewhere. Assuming there's going to be a free version of v6, can anyone tell me what the supported disk configuration will be once the final version has been released? Will it be like v5, 1 parity and 2 data?

JonathanM Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I am not speaking for the company, but I think I remember Tom saying there would be 3 slots available for any combination of 1 parity and 2 disks either data or cache. I don't know if you could assign all 3 slots to a cache pool or not. Either way, I'm sure I remember someone saying the cache drive would be available in the free version, but it would occupy one of the 3 allowed slots. Quote Link to comment
ianmott Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Thanks for the reply Johnathan. Sounds like a reasonable solution for the free version. Here's hoping. Quote Link to comment
garycase Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Tom actually said that would be the config for v5 final; but it was NOT the case, as the free version still does not allow a cache. I don't think that will change with v6 final, although I have no insight as to whether or not Limetech is re-considering this. Quote Link to comment

The free version of the 6 beta series allows a cache drive to be assigned. Quote Link to comment
