upgrade to 6.9 and reconfigure my array

[HRX]

I intend to upgrade to 6.9 and reconfigure my array from:

 

1 x 480GB Cache

1 x 3TB Parity

1 x 3TB Parity 2

1 x 3TB Disk 1 - filled with data

1 x 3TB Disk 2 - filled with data

 

to:

 

1 x 480GB

2 x 3TB Raid 1 Storage Pool

2 x 3TB Cold Spare

 

 

I am really an UNRAID noob. It will be great of if someone would be kind enough to provide some guidance.

 

Thank you in advanced.

Unraid does not support RAID1 in the array, although you can have the BTRFS variant of RAID1 in a cache pool.

 

Which drives are you intending to keep in the array, and which ones as cache pools?  Note that there has to be at least 1 drive in the array (although it is possible to use something like a USB pen drive to which is never going to store actual data to satisfy this requirement)

Yes i would like to use the BTRFS variant of RAID1

I have one more 2TB unassigned which i would like it to be the single drive in the array.

2 x 3TB with data to become the RAID1 Storage pool

the 2 x 3TB currently as parity to remove and become cold spare
