January 4, 201511 yr Hey Guys I pulled an SSD from my main computer for use in my unRAID rig as a cache drive specifically for running apps in the Docker. It is formatted with the NTFS file system and I wasn't given an option to format it when I added it to the unRAID array as my cache drive. Any idea what I can do to change it to reiserfs (I guess?)...which is what my other array drives are formatting for. Thanks!!! Jim
January 4, 201511 yr 1) stop array 2) select "cache" drive from the main view 3) see that it has a "File System Type" dropdown. 4) select file system you want 5) restart array 6) notice the main page tells there is an unformatted drive 7) confirm it is the correct drive Select check box and click "ok" 9) ... 10) profi FYI, you can use any FS for docker. I would suggest XFS. It is the docker image itself that is internally formatted as BTRFS (iirc) to allow for qcow. But I can't remember 100% the details on that. I just know the formatting procedure because I just did it 5 times converting from RFS to XFS

Here's a screen shot: -Jim
