super helpful. thank you again!

This was the ticket. I was trying to use delete from the network drive. rm libvirt.img worked without issue from the console Thanks again for all your help! New to unraid, so still figuring things out 🙏

Yes. I have rebooted multiple times since turning off the VM Manager setting. Still does not allow deletion of the libvirt.img file

Just re-checked and all the system folder is on cache now, including the libvirt.img file that doesn't seem necessary Tried deleting again but get this error - The operation can’t be completed because the item “libvirt.img” is in use. New diagnostics attached, if helpful

root@unraid:~# ls -lah /mnt/user0/system /bin/ls: cannot access '/mnt/user0/system': No such file or directory

Yeah, after you pointed out that the system shares is still split between cache and disk1, I turned off VM Manager and rebooted. It's off now and I try to delete libvirt.img but the system says it's in use and can't be deleted Doesn't seem like a huge deal though. Not urgent to solve it since the libvirt is just sitting on disk and I'm not using VMs right now Thanks again for your help! Let me know if you have any other ideas on what it could be Separately, one of my docker apps - qbittorrent webui stopped being accessible for some reason (it's on port 8080). Is it something to do with port forwarding settings on my local router? I can start a new thread on this if this isn't a common issue with an easy answer

It's the libvirt.img file that's sitting on disk and can't move to cache. But I don't currently run any VMs and I tried to disable it in settings and then delete the libvirt file, but it says the file is in use. Rebooted and tried again, but still can't seem to delete it. Any ideas? I'm fine to leave it on disk since I'm not using VMs. Ideally, I could just delete it entirely. Definitely want to avoid 1GB of disk space wasted on the cache though

Ok, sure. Please see attached. I swapped the cache drive for a larger SSD that I had. I may add another and do raid 0 to increase the total cache size. But after I changed the cache settings on the various share folders, I ran the mover and now things seem to be running smoothly. Happy to take any additional advice on how to make the system more performant though. Thanks for your help! unraid-diagnostics-20221202-0535.zip

Hi trurl, Thanks for the advice! I changed the share settings today and things seem to be running a lot better now.

Hi trurl, My apologies. Updated diagnostics after reboot attached. I currently have 4x 4TB HDDs, 1x 1.5TB HDD, and a 240GB SSD as cache. But I've noticed the cache fills up quite fast, so I was thinking of expanding it to a larger pool of SSDs - maybe 2 or 3 that I can take from other unused systems to combine for around 1TB I was thinking I would try to get all new uploads onto cache and just run mover 1x per day or less. And over time, I'd like to separate the HDD pools have some as cold storage and another pool as always-on for more frequent access. That way, I can try to reduce some power usage, but not sure if it makes a big difference tbh

One quick follow-up q - should I leave "system" shares to prefer cache? Looks like it ended up being unchanged after reboot

Hi Jorge. My apologies. I "rebooted" the array, but I just realized you meant to reboot the entire system. Just rebooted the server and the shares are back. Thank you for the prompt response. Much appreciated! 🙏

Hi Jorge. I tried to reboot, but the shares still are not showing up Any other ideas on how to get them back?

Hi support, I was trying to change cache settings for various folders because mover kept stalling so I was trying to reduce the amount of folders using the cache option. Unfortunately, my array now says "There are no exportable user shares". Perhaps my cache and/or system folder was corrupted as a result? Please help. Thanks in advance!
