I tried using the search function but came up a bit short. So I thought I would ask my question here. Is there a definitive guide somewhere for installing Drivepool in a VM environment? I have ESXi running on an older box with 4 2TB SATA drives installed. Here is how I assume I need to install Drivepool. In order to add 6TB to a pool (3 2TB Drives) I assume I need to create each disk as a datastore and then create virtual drives completely filling up the datastores. Those virtual drives would then represent the 3 physical disks. I could then add all 3 virtual drives to a datapool. I then plan on adding 4 more USB drives bringing my Drivepool total up to about 20TB. I plan on using file duplication which would bring my available storage to about 10TB. Does this sound like the correct way to set this up? Thanks for the help. I literally just discovered Drivepool yesterday so I'm way behind the learning curve.
