My NAS is based on an Asrock X570D4I-2T and I am using all 8x SATA ports for an 8 drive RaidZ2 array and the NVME slot for VM storage.
Since I have no other ports available, I am using an USB to SATA adapter that supports UAS + a motherboard USB header to 2xUSB-A port converter to attach a Samsung EVO 850 (old but works fine) internal SSD drive and use it as the boot drive.
The system works fine, but I keep getting the ‘boot-pool’ is consuming USB devices warning. I understand why it is there, but given this is not me running the system on a USB stick that is going to fail due to the workload and that I really have no other option, it just gets in the way.
Any way to do so?
