January 16, 20179 yr I'm setting up a box purely for gaming VM's. I like UnRaid's VM management interface. I've tried Proxmox which seems to be quite popular, but it is no where near UnRaid's flexibility and user-friendliness. No HDD's for this box, only SSD's. I can simply assign an SSD as a data drive, no parity, no cache, and UnRaid operates VM's happily. Now I've just added another same-sized SSD, and set up an Intel X99 RAID0 volume with the 2 identical SSD's. UnRaid, however, cannot see a single Intel RAID0 volume, instead, it still sees the 2 individual SSD's. I've briefly searched the forum and came across this post. Can someone confirm whether UnRaid works with motherboard or intel chipset H/W Raid?
January 17, 20179 yr Author I have now put a small HDD as an UnRaid data disk (as UnRaid won't proceed without a data drive), and assign the 2 SSD's as RAID0 cache. root@Tower:/mnt# btrfs fi show /mnt/cache Label: none uuid: 90ef06ec-e402-4b2f-9b86-71e9ac2034ca Total devices 2 FS bytes used 206.03GiB devid 1 size 447.13GiB used 107.03GiB path /dev/sdb1 devid 2 size 447.13GiB used 107.03GiB path /dev/sdc1 root@Tower:/mnt# btrfs fi df /mnt/cache Data, RAID0: total=212.00GiB, used=206.03GiB System, RAID1: total=32.00MiB, used=16.00KiB Metadata, RAID1: total=1.00GiB, used=592.00KiB GlobalReserve, single: total=16.00MiB, used=0.00B Any tip on benchmarking the throughput of btrfs RAID0 implementation?
