Kudjo Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Okay. Here's what I've got so far: I have a 120GB SSD with 2 partitions. Partition 1: about 30GB for Unraid to use (I have successfully booted into unRAID GUI with this; both from USB and after connecting the drive internally to SATA) Partition 2: about 90GB XFS partition (used gparted to format this) Here's what I'm trying to do: I'm trying to boot AND run a cache only/single disk array (I believe either one will be fine) from the same device (in this case: my 120GB SSD). The purpose is so I can run dockers and VMs from this single device and so that I can move that single device from computer to computer and have my unRAID setup and dockers and VMs. The Problem I'm running into: While I have been able to boot into unRAID successfully without any issues whatsoever, I cannot get it to do anything with the second partition. It looks like unRAID sees it. But I can't get it to show up in the cache or array drop menus. I thought it might be a restriction of the USB enclosure I was using, so I tried booting into unRAID after physically connecting the SSD to the internal SATA ports. It booted successfully, but didn't change my results (which were all the same). So, what am I missing? Is it something obvious that I just overlooked while searching the forums? Any ideas what I should do from here? Also, let's assume that I don't care about wear on the SSD. (because, I don't. ) I LOVE what I'm able to do with unRAID, but am left wanting more and I think this will scratch that itch! (...for now) Link to comment
JorgeB Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 You can't assign partitions to the array or cache, only devices. Link to comment
