wheelerc6 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 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? Quote Link to comment

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

If I only have 4 data disk why would I need to decrease the array slots? Quote Link to comment
wheelerc6 Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 If you stop the array, how many array slots does it allow? Quote Link to comment
wheelerc6 Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment
wheelerc6 Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 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! Quote Link to comment
