Cache pool stuck in single mode


Recommended Posts

I decided to take the jump and move to a cache pool with 2x SSDs. I am interested in performance, so I want to put the pool in Raid-0 mode - however, I can't get it to Raid at all. 

 

Both disks are formatted btrfs, and the Main screen shows cache 2 as "part of a cache pool", however, it doesn't seem like the drives are pooling properly. I have tried running balance with all combinations of -dconvert and -mconvert to try to create a raid-1 or raid-0 pool, but it does nothing. I have rebooted a few times and stopped the array, reformatted the disks/reassigned and started 4 or 5 times now but it always goes to 'single' mode. Here's the status:

 

btrfs filesystem df:

Data, single: total=1.00GiB, used=512.00KiB
System, single: total=4.00MiB, used=16.00KiB
Metadata, single: total=1.01GiB, used=112.00KiB
GlobalReserve, single: total=16.00MiB, used=0.00B

btrfs balance status:

No balance found on '/mnt/cache'

btrfs filesystem show:

Label: none  uuid: 0ce58b4f-32f6-498a-8a12-69520dd7df0e

	devid    1 size 223.57GiB used 20.00MiB path /dev/sdn1

From what I see online, this last command should list 2 devices under one uuid, but mine is not. I've searched the forums a bit, but everything assumes the pool is in raid-1 mode to start - which mine is not. 

 

UnRAID: 6.7.2; basic dockers (plex, sabnzbd, radarr/sonarr)

Cache is empty (backed up elsewhere while I try to get this going). 

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction to create a Raid-0 cachepool?

 

Thank-you!
