Hi all,

 

I am new to UNRAID and have a question about storage for databases like Neo4J, mariadb, etc. Currently they store their files in the cache, which is fine for now but could be a problem when if/when I store more data. Would there be any performance implications for using the array for databases? Particularly with how the array functions? Would it better to do something else perhaps? Maybe using unassigned disks in a mirror for a bit of redundancy? What do other people do?

 

Thanks, Phil

Best option could be a second cache pool, available in the 6.9 beta

Ah, ok. Yes that would work. I assume that when setting up a VM or a docker etc you can pick the cache pool? That would work really well.
