April 7, 20179 yr Would anyone experience in disable parity for a disk which is used for storing unimportant data (e.g.) BT download? If the disk is corrupted, I just pull out and don't require to rebuild parity.

April 7, 20179 yr Community Expert The wording of both of your questions seems a little confused about how the parity array and the cache pool work, and how cache disk can be used. If you already have a cache disk you can use it for the unimportant data, you don't need to add another if it has enough capacity for your uses. Each user share has settings that control whether and how it uses cache. See this entry from the FAQ
April 7, 20179 yr Author Let's rephrase my question first. If I would like to create new user share e.g. "Download" for BT purpose, would we add a new disk which don't need data protection from parity?

You can create that share and make it "cache-only" to make it stay on the cache disk and so will not have parity protection. Did you read the FAQ I linked?
April 7, 20179 yr I think the answer may be to mount the disk outside the array using unassigned devices. The only issue is it won't be a part of a user share. It will act like a disk share. But that should be fine if I understand the use case.
