  • [6.7.0-RC8-RC7] Wrong free space of Cache Only folder shares

    Hi, 
    Wrong free space of Cache Only folder shares is reported when created by [ 6.7.0-RC8, RC7, other RC’s unknown].

     

    Using RC8, create a new Cache Only folder share with other default settings. 
    The created Share has a larger free space than the Cache drive.  By definition this is not possible. 

     

    Investigation indicated that the folder share is first created on Disk1 and this becomes the free space reported for the folder. 
    Only when the folder share is first written to, is it then created on Cache. It is then on both Disk1 and Cache. 
    The Mover behaves correctly and does not move the Cache files to Disk1.  

     

    Repeating the above with  6.6.7 , a Cache Only folder share is directly created on the Cache drive and reports the true free space of the Cache.  No redundant Disk1 share is created. 
    This was the expected result.    

     

    NB: In the RC8 Scout-Diagnostics, Cache Only folder share “Reports” has been created, but not yet written to, therefore exists only on Disk1 and is not yet on the Cache drive.

    This looks like an error in the creation of the user share rather than an error in the reported free space.

     

    I managed to reproduce the fact that a new user share set to be cache-only gets a folder (incorrectly) created on an array drive.   The free space will (by design) include any free space on both the cache drive and any array disks that have the folder corresponding to the user share.  The incorrect free space is therefore a by-product of the incorrect creation of the folder corresponding to the user share on an array drive
