I just wanted to say thank you. This plugin is great! I am converting from reiserfs to xfs and I fat fingered a slash, which ended up giving me an extra folder that caused a user share to have the same name as a disk share. Fix Common Problems found the error, and the explanation was spot-on so I could figure out what I did wrong and fix it. Most Excellent! Thanks! Best Regards, Jimmy

Upgraded and all looks good so far. Dockers and VMs are happy. Thank you!

I'm using two Samsung 860 EVO 1TB drives in my cache pool in Raid1 and the server is NOT locking up for me when I transfer large files. I already bought the drives before I saw this thread, but can still return them. I like tweaking and tuning stuff so I was trying to reproduce the issues others are seeing in this thread before making the decision to possibly return the drives. I can copy a 50GB file to the cache pool and don't see any issues. My main Unraid server is still running 5.0. I recently upgraded my backup server from 5.0rc11 to 6.8. Also, I swapped the case from a 4U Norco 4020 to a silent mid tower because I'm relocating the server to a different location (noise is an issue) and added the SSDs. I installed a bunch of docker containers and a couple of VMs. Tonight when I shutdown the server to add the second cache drive, after restart my VMs are no longer visible in the GUI. Don't know why, started another thread on that issue here: My Hardware Components: CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1220 Sandy Bridge Motherboard: Supermicro X9SCM-IIF-O RAM: 32GB - 4x Super Talent DDR3-1333 8GB ECC Micron Controllers: 1x IBM M1015. Flashed in IT mode. Case: Antec P101 Silent Power Supply: CORSAIR HX750 Flash: 4GB Cruzer Micro Parity Drive: 1x4TB Seagate ST4000DM000 5900RPM 64MB 4x1000GB CC43 Data Drives: 5x4TB Seagate ST4000DM000 5900RPM 64MB 4x1000GB CC43 Cache Drives: 2x1TB Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB Hard drives are connected to the M1015. SSDs are connected to SATA3 ports on the motherboard. Multiple times I copied a 50GB file from a Win10 PC to my Unraid server over gigabit ethernet: Cache pool during transfer: Top during transfer: So, during the transfer I was at about 2 load average, highest I saw was ~3. I still need to figure out what's going on with the VMs, so I couldn't test with those. But during the transfer I used several docker containers and didn't notice any performance impacts, including: Krusader - browsing files/folders on the server CouchDB - exploring the GUI/interface dukuwiki - Editing wiki pages Oracle Database - browsing with the console Everything appears to be working for me with 2 Samsung SSDs in my cache pool while copying large files. Should my test have reproduced the problem others are seeing? Anything else I can/should try? Best Regards, Jimmy

So it's been a couple of years and this is still an issue? That's unfortunate. I'm in the process of building a new 6.8 server and was planning on using a couple Samsung SSD drives for a cache pool. Has anyone got that working without having the issues mentioned in this thread and if so using what SSD drives? Thanks!
