Hello,
I installed a new Unraid server and set the share cache to Yes.
When I did the first file load, the copy failed and I got a warning that the cache disk was full.
In order to make the copy, I needed to invoke the move manually.
I repeated the same test using the share cache option as Yes and Prefer and the error was repeated.
The information I read in the manual is that with the Yes cache option, all new files and subdirectories are written to the cache, if there is enough free space in the cache. If there is insufficient cache space, new files and directories will be created in the array.
But in practice, this does not happen: When there is no space in the cache, the copy simply fails.
Is this a bug, it doesn't really work or am I doing something wrong?
This is a server to store videos I produce for Youtube and online courses. Usually these are 300Mb to 2Gb video and other smaller files for thumbs and mp3 files.
If this feature doesn't work, it would need to have a very large cache disk to be sufficient for file moves.
If I don't enable the cache, I noticed that writing is very slow.
the server is with
2 x 6Tb - parity disks
3 x 3tb - data discs
1 x 256gb ssd - cache disk
Greats,
Eduardo
