Is it ok to use space on HDD outside of pool?


BIFFTAZ

Question

Hi. I have drivepool all setup & its working just fine, But have 1 question...

I would like to know if using some of the free space on 1 HDD outside of the pool is safe & ok to do?

I have 4 drives in my pool. 2 8TB's, 10TB & 20TB. I use torrent & usenet clients from time to time, & these sometimes download loads of small files at a time, & I really don't want these smaller files being downloaded to multiple drives at once in case of file corruption. Right now I have both the torrent & usenet client set to download to 1 of the 8TB drives to a folder I made outside of the pool, So that all read & writes are done to the same drive & not scattered all over multiple drives.

Is this ok to do? I'm trying to avoid file corruption & pinging all drives at once using torrent & usenet clients, But I also don't want to cause any issue with my pool either 😂

Thanks.
