Sharing NVME between volume and cache group? #151

Closed volschin closed 2 months ago

volschin commented 2 months ago

First thank you very much for this cool script. I moved my 2x4TB nvme‘s from cache usage to volume. I had used about 400 GB as cache group before. I have seen that there seem to be different partition types for cache group and volume. What I would really like is to share my nvme space between cache and volume usage. Is this generally possible or is this something that is technically impossible?

DSM does not allow using a drive for a cache and a volume.

You're only the 2nd person to ever ask about it. When the first person asked I did some research and read that a cache drive is formatted differently to a drive with a storage pool.
