I’ve tried setting it to that and the array writes are going up in large amounts compared to the cache write figure

Thanks and to @MowMdown for the help i managed to move the stuff I was supposed to to the cache with no duplicate files, so I (for the first time) have a sleeping array 😁 very very pleased regarding the speed issue (and I have tested again since this afternoons maintenance) I am expecting to see higher writes than a couple of KB/s to the cache drive though, whilst the file is being downloaded. All I see is activity on the array. It makes me concerned I’m wasting this fast cache disk and it’s not doing much

thank you. Despite not yet being at the point of resolving my initial weirdness, this advice is gold dust Would you mind helping or pointing me to help on the moving of the system config to cache when the vm manager & docker have been stopped ? i constantly have a disk in the array awake so I bet the thing you mentioned is the reason I don’t know whether this is related but my docker is always warning me that it’s high utilisation. (I’ve never investigated where to increase that) thanks in advance

Thanks for looking at it I’ve tested a few more times now and I don’t see any writes to the cache drive during a large download. I just downloaded a huge file so I could look at the figures for a good while and the cache was writing, but at like 1MB/s, whereas the array was writing close to 100MB/s. For reference, the rate I was getting from the internet was 70MB/s. i can’t fathom this Im also curious what you mean about my system share having files on the array, is that a default location for system files?

That’s the one I toggled to and didn’t see any usage during a download on the cache drive

Any ideas anyone please?

Thanks. Can't believe i didn't click it ! docker run -d --name='sabnzbd' --net='host' -e TZ="Europe/London" -e HOST_OS="Unraid" -e HOST_HOSTNAME="unraid" -e HOST_CONTAINERNAME="sabnzbd" -e 'TCP_PORT_8080'='8080' -e 'PUID'='99' -e 'PGID'='100' -e 'UMASK'='022' -l net.unraid.docker.managed=dockerman -l net.unraid.docker.webui='http://[IP]:[PORT:8080]' -l net.unraid.docker.icon='https://raw.githubusercontent.com/linuxserver/docker-templates/master/linuxserver.io/img/sabnzbd-logo.png' -v '/mnt/user/Downloads/complete/':'/downloads':'rw' -v '/mnt/user/Downloads/incomplete/':'/incomplete-downloads':'rw' -v '/mnt/user/appdata/sabnzbd':'/config':'rw' 'lscr.io/linuxserver/sabnzbd' 6010c3e80bf3dbf61a67b0ca2e0e00cba60b56c20fd217d86a66a70956d029a8 unraid-diagnostics-20250115-1628.zip

Docker run output in this way? :

Hi, I have Sabnzbd downloading things from newsgroups, it's installed to my cache drive which is the fastest drive in my rig. when the download is in full flow, I look at the "main" tab and expect to see a load of throughput to the cache drive as that's where I assume it's downloading, but I don't see ANY traffic. Only sporadic writes to the array Any idea what's happening to the download? Is it going into memory perhaps? Thanks in advance
