Like I said earlier, the only vm I'm running right now is Homeassistant which shouldn't be touching my media share.

I have changed the default shares to only. I have deleted the other two shares listed as prefer as they didn't have any important data on them anyway. I ran the mover and nothing has moved off the cache since you last posted approximately 2 hours ago. Other than the default shares, all shares are either listed as Yes:Cache or No with nothing on the cache. Computing all the share size showed that a vast majority of the cache data is from my media download/storage drive (named data).

While I still would like to know if I’m using the cache pool in a way that isn’t recommended, I still think something else is wrong with my mover or the way it is configured. I’ve turned off docker. I now only have my Homeassistant VM running. I’ve checked my open files and it doesn’t appear that I have anything with my media files open. After this, I’ve invoked mover and it has been running for over and hour and has hardly moved anything. I started with about 250gb space remaining and am now at 267gb. Any guesses where to start?

Yes, I think I understand this properly. I'm still learning Unraid, so I'm probably doing plenty of things wrong, but I set Prefer to shares that will help the system run faster and Yes to shares that I want data dumped onto the system quickly then eventually moved into the array. I figured I should have my media set to Yes, so I can quickly big data onto my server and be processed in a quicker fashion then moved off onto the array when the cache is near full. Is this a bad way of looking at this? Should I just set my downloaded media to go straight to the array?

It is my media share that seems to be the culprit. The first is a lan cache that I haven't really finished setting up so it is pretty much empty except some folders. The second is where I've stored some m3u files.

I'm using usenet to download files, so I shouldn't be seeding anything. The idea to use the cache for downloading media was that I could get media onto the server with little delay and move to the array as needed. Then the cache could allow for faster post processing. It appears the download speed is slower than the array speed. Am I wrong with this approach?

I apologize in advance if I'm asking for help on a common problem, I couldn't find the right answer in my searches. I am struggling with getting my cache pool to move correctly. My cache pool keeps filling up and won't empty even when mover is running. I have mover set to run every hour if the cache pool gets above 50%, but It will just continue to fill and not empty until a random point in time or if the server is restarted. I understand that "Prefer" will keep all the files from that share on the cache until it fills and "Yes" will write to the cache first and then dump to the array once it is full or mover invoked. I've checked my share sizes and everything with "Prefer" only adds up to a couple hundred GBs. After checking the size of all my shares going into the cache, it appears that my media files being downloaded go in and don't move out. My cache pool is four nvme drives at 2 TBs each, so it is pretty large and quick. What am I missing? I've attached my logs. While looking through them I did notice this error "emhttpd: error: get_key_info, 567: Invalid argument (22): stat: /boot/config/Trial.key" I'm not sure why I'm seeing that, but I'm assuming it is unrelated.
