mhweb Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) I wondering if it's possible to dedicate a SSD to store and run docker installation using unRAID, so that all HDD can go to sleep while they not in use for a long time. Thanks, Edited February 13, 2020 by mhweb Quote Link to comment

Mine is cache only as it is 500GB and I am not using it for actual write caching. Quote Link to comment

All the HDDs go to sleep after an hour of inactivity on my server. The Docker containers being stored on the SSD in a cache only share means that they can keep doing their thing and the HDDs remain asleep unless they are needed. I also have my VMs as well as the download location for DelugeVPN and output locations for HandBrake and MakeMKV on an unassigned devices SSD. I can do everything with these dockers on SSDs while the HDDs happily sleep until I am ready to move content to them or access content from them. 1 Quote Link to comment
mhweb Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 I noticed that I already have the appdata as cache prefer, but I added the ssd after I installed the docker containers. How do I move the contents to the ssd? Thanks, Quote Link to comment

Enable docker after mover is done. 1 Quote Link to comment
