trurl Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 What is the current question? Quote Link to comment
CDLehner Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 What is the current question? How do I go about...setting up this SSD, for Cache? You know...do I need to pre-clear, etc? Right now...I have it hooked up, and in my Unidentified Drives. Thx Quote Link to comment
CHBMB Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I wouldn't preclear a SSD and especially if it's going to be a cache drive. To assign it just stop the array and assign it.... Assuming you're not setting up a pool of drives for your cache. Then I guess you'll need to copy anything you have on your existing cache drive over. For that I would use midnight commander via ssh.

trurl Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Does Array Operations offer to format it? Quote Link to comment
CDLehner Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Does Array Operations offer to format it? OK; yes. Thanks. Doing that now. OK; all good, as far as Cache goes? Quote Link to comment
CDLehner Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 OK...so; now to do a FRESH install, of PLEX. I think I have this; but I want to confirm steps, if that's OK. I mean...the last thing I want to do, after all this; is screw something silly up. So...Step 1: - Enable my Docker - With a 240G Cache drive; suggest an image size? - And create the image, on the Cache disk (and is that path just /mnt/cache/?) YES? Quote Link to comment
CHBMB Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 - Enable my Docker - With a 240G Cache drive; suggest an image size? This is dependent on your cache drive size, more the amount of containers you want. My docker.img is 30GB. I have a lot of containers. (25 at last count) - And create the image, on the Cache disk (and is that path just /mnt/cache/?) /mnt/cache/docker.img will be fine. Quote Link to comment
CHBMB Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 One other thought, why did you choose btrfs instead of xfs as a format for your cache drive? i may be wrong but I think there have been issues with btrfs here and there. If you're running a cache pool then it needs to be btrfs, but for a single device XFS would be fine. Quote Link to comment

I'm not anticipating, a lot of containers; but is there any down-side really...in going "too big" (like 30G)? Quote Link to comment

CHBMB Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I re-formatted. Why ask the question after the fact then?! Anyways, there's no problem having "too big" a docker.img other than it uses more space. Quote Link to comment
CDLehner Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 OK...I have my Docker. Set-up, a Container...before PLEX? Considerations? Thx Quote Link to comment

trurl Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Update unRAID before doing anything else. Always try to stay current unless you know you have some good reason not to. Quote Link to comment

trurl Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 After updating to the latest stable release of unRAID, you use Community Applications to choose the Plex docker you want. I recommend the one from linuxserver.io Quote Link to comment
