May 27, 201511 yr I am running Unraid 6b15 with a plus license. It is my understanding that I should be able to add multiple cache drives in a pool. I am unable to do this as the slots value only has 1 and will not allow me to add another drive. I did buy my license before the migration to the current setup but I thought with version 6b14 that pools were available to plus licenses. Am I incorrect in this statement? Am I missing a step to setup the cache pool? I currently only have 4 data drives, 1 cache and a USB drive with unraid OS. I should be able to add up to 8 drives total...correct?

Stop the array then decrease the array slots and you will be able to increase the cache slots.

If I only have 4 data disk why would I need to decrease the array slots?
May 27, 201511 yr Author Correction to what I previously said... Setup: 1 Parity 3 Data 1 Cache 1 USB I would like to use a cache pool. I have a plus license. I am assuming my license should support 2 more disk as either a data disk or in a cache pool. Please correct me if my assumptions are wrong.
May 27, 201511 yr Author The slot count shows 25 but I have never tried to put more than 4 total including parity into the array. I cannot stop the array now to test how many the array will hold as I am building a new VM. Once the VM is built I will try.
May 27, 201511 yr Author The array slot value was set to 24. Once I moved the slot value to 6 I was able to change the cache slot size. This item can be marked as resolved!! Thanks everyone!
