Bigger Database then the Storagecapacity of 1 drive


Recommended Posts

Hello,

im planing to run a Nextcloud in a VM and use my Unraid Array for the DB. Maria DB or SQL Lite Store the DB into a Single File.

 

The Question is if the Database gets bigger then 1 Drive what happens? Does it split the Database? Is it even possible? Are there Work arounds?

 

For example: if i have 2 Drives with 1T and i have a database with 1,5T what does happen?

How can i solve this?

 

Regards

Unfortunately no.    The design of unRAID means any file must fit on a single drive.   There is no way built into unRAID to allow a file to be split in the way you want.   Not sure what would create a single database file that is that huge? You mention NextCloud, but when using that the database is normally relatively small - it is the separate files that are managed by Nextcloud are what takes up the space (and they can be spread across drives).
