unable to create Hyper Cache

[anaderi]

I added NVME SSD drive for caching, and the system recognises it correctly. However, as I try to create Hyper Cache, the wizard stucks at the page (see screenshot)



I've tried with created partition and without, results are the same.
Any help would be appreciated.

To create a Hyper Cache, two conditions must be met: to have a volume that has not yet created an SSD cache, you need to run less than 60% of the memory

I seem to be having the same issue, having read a few posts on here about M.2 cache, it seems straight forward to those in the know, starting to wish I'd bought a system that was a little more plug and play.
I've added two SSDs for storage and plan to add two more at a later date. These drives are showing on on the storage pool.
Ive added 1 x 500GB M.2 for cache, when I click on create hyper cache I am getting as far as you, and see the message 0GB is the max I can have.

Is someone able to put a few simple bullet points down in very basic none tech language to allow myself and other less advanced people to set this up. I'm literally talking an idiot proof thing "click this, then click that, set this to ...."

I've added screenshots of mine, hopefully someone can see what we are doing wrong and get us heading in the right direction.

Please select the volume you want to assign first, and then it should be able to display the available SSD Cahce size.

I succeeded, by performing some manual:
- remove all volumes, storages from SSD (webUI)
then in terminal, after enabling SSH, since even though nothing were shown in the web interface, I could see some mirror partitions on SSD that were created automatically during setup:
- remove SSD partitions from /dev/md9 (root) and /dev/md8 (swap), see https://delightlylinux.wordpress.com/20 ... aid-array/
- remove all partitions SSD using `fdisk`
- reboot and wait (1 day or so??)

the last step was less intuitive, but it worked for me.
