thejinx0r Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I want to try installing unraid in a full slackware distro. ( I will update the wiki as I go: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Installing_unRAID_5.0_on_a_full_Slackware_Distro . it's a little oudated ) So my question is this: How can I use my hard drive as both the cache drive and the slackware install location? Can I just create 3 partitions, one for swap, slackware install and cache and then assign the cache partition to the unraid array? (I've never had a drive with multiple partitions plugged in to unraid before, that's why I'm asking ) Quote Link to comment

(There were some early betas that re-formatted multi-partition cache drives, you probably need to use a recent beta) Joe L. Quote Link to comment
