@hugenbdd thank you too!

Hi Squid, I just want to say a big THANK YOU for this plugin. I've been using unraid for over a year and am sad I'm only just now learning about this. It is one of the most useful plugins I've installed, and makes SSD caches so much more powerful!

Well I spoke too soon. Sometimes it seems to work, others not. I just tried moving a new file between directories on a share with "cache: Yes" (so it was on SSD cache), and it had to wake up almost the whole array to do it. A few days ago it seemed to work fine. Maybe it's just not holding all the directories in memory? But I have cache pressure set to 1, and I never go above ~30% usage of 32GB of memory. Also tried turning on "fixed" with maximum depth of 0. Increased timeout to 1500. Added user defined options to skip recycle bin, etc. Not sure there's much else I can do at this point other than lowering pressure to 0.

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case for me, at least while moving around files on cache/pool via SMB. With /mnt/user scanning on it works beautifully with no disk spinups. With it off, every array disk with the relevant directory has to spin up, even if it's staying on the SSD cache in the same share. Why does unraid even need to query array disks if it's just moving a file between cache/pool directories? I guess to check for duplicates? Would be nice if you could just make Mover handle that later when all the disks are spun up and throw an error if there's an issue.

small convenience request, would it be possible to move the start, stop, refresh, etc buttons in the file activity tab to above the list of activities?

good point, I should have realized that the initial backups would usually be on a single disk anyway.

well today i tried again. I read somewhere that the TM sparesbundle really doesn't play well with multiple disks, so I made another brand new TM share using all the same suggestions as before, but I also set the share to use only one disk in the array. That seems to be working pretty well, TM currently estimates a 103GB backup will take 3 hours which is a TON faster than my last attempt of ~75GB in 8 hours. (Also this is over wireless, so I imagine it would go even faster if I was wired.) I'll keep an eye on how subsequent backups do since I noticed some people say they can go back to a crawl. Coincidentally I have also recently upgraded my SSD cache, so I'll probably just enable the cache on the TM share once this troubleshooting is done.

I've just had an idea for this. With Squid's Mover Tuning plugin, I have set an exemption for file type '.DS_Store'. Now I'm going to delete all previous .DS-Store files and *hopefully* the new ones will stay on the SSD cache. I'm wondering if this is the root of many Mac users' problems with cache dir.

no go on Unraid\ Downloads either. Not a huge deal, I can just stick with the wildcards.

actually I spoke too soon, single quotes doesn't seem to work either. i'll try with \.

that was it, thanks!

yeah i tried that initially, but after applying the quotes were removed.

What's the syntax? I want to exclude folder "Unraid Downloads" in share "Media". I've tried: Media/Undraid Downloads *Unraid Downloads /mnt/user/Media/Unraid Downloads but deleted files still go to the bin. edit: *Unraid*Downloads works for now, but would like to specify the exact folder if possible. Thanks again!

That's awesome, thank you! tip headed your way.

Hello, is it possible to exclude a folder in a share, but not the whole share? thanks!

yep, did it this morning and so far seems to have worked just fine.

yeah that's what I figured, thanks!

I'm still having issues with this on 6.9.1. Tried the case sensitive trick and starting fresh with a new share, but no luck. Started a new 100GB backup last night around 12am and it only did about 75GB by 8am.

Hello all, Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere, I tried searching but didn't find much. Anyway, I'm planning a cache upgrade and was wondering if this plan would work using 6.9's new ability to have multiple cache pools. I had issues the last time I did a cache upgrade on 6.8 so I'm trying to avoid using the the 6.2+ method if possible. 1) "old" cache is currently 500GB, leave as-is for now 2) create "new" cache pool of 1TB alongside "old" cache 3) stop all docker containers, VMs, etc, and copy data from "old" cache directly to "new" cache 4) change share settings from using "old" cache to "new" cache just seems like this would be a lot faster and easier since it's one copy going SSD>SSD instead of two copies SSD>Array>SSD. are there any issues with this? or do we need to stick with the 6.2+ method? Thanks!

also install and check Dynamix Active Streams (if you haven't already) to see if something on your network is writing there. This confused me for a while, turned out it was just my Mac backing up with time machine.

There are a few graphical bugs with some apps, but overall perfectly usable. I use it as a vnc jumpbox.

Hey guys, I'm trying to collect plex logs, but when I navigate to the logs folder in krusader it says it cannot open the folder. I also tried deleting the Logs folder to see if Plex would recreate it but it would not delete. Searched this thread, but didn't find any issues like this yet. Any idea why this is or how to fix it? Thanks!

not recommended. people in here are working on making bug sur VMs, but there are still major changes in each beta release that cause issues.

hey guys, i'm having trouble setting up jackett rss feeds with vpn on (mullvad if it matters). Works fine with vpn turned off, but with vpn turned on it cannot connect to jackett. example rss from jackett: http://10.0.0.186:9117/api/v2.0/indexers/limetorrents/results/torznab/api?apikey=xxxxxxx=search&cat=&q= i do have LAN_Network set to 10.0.0.0/24 in the docker config. Is there any other setting i'd need to fix? thanks for any input!

I just switched to Mullvad and got a refund on my PIA subscription. Luckily I just renewed within 30days, so they gave me a full refund. They do not do prorated refunds, so if anyone is on the fence and recently renewed, check soon! Mullvad seems to be a little slower so far, but to be fair I have only tried the Swiss servers. Is there a consensus fastest region or is it best to just pick the closest one to you.
