Done Thanks for the help.

Wow. Thank you JorgeB!!!!! The crazy part is I tried to reinstall that addon several times. Never even thought to test it without that Addon.

I have tried for the last week to read others issues with their cache becoming full. I too have this issue. My 2tb drive has filled. Mover says it moves files each hour but it does not. I was very indecisive. when I first starting to build this. First with just an array and then a single cache and then 2 ache drives to separate my appdata from my media files and downloads. My media/download drive has hit capacity and mover runs but does not really move files. Is there a glaring obvious issue alluding me? attaching my diagnostic file with hopes that somebody can help me find a way to get mover to actually move files. basementraid-diagnostics-20250404-2318.zip

I'm looking to build a NAS server for Plex and a bunch of media files. This will really be a newbie build. The machine that is currently in the house is not built by me. It belonged to a neighbor that was going to build a new machine. Its a TrueNas Core with a i7-7600U 16gb ram 2 240gb SSD and 6 8tb HGST Ultrastar drives. It has a share, a plex server and a minecraft vanilla server. There is only ever a max of 2 viewers, in network. We don't send anything outside the house. It works. But...... we are currently at 87% full. I wish I had built this machine from the start and understood everything that is going on there. Since its built on some old equipment and my parts bin now has better parts available, I'd like to start a build from the start with hopes of understanding how it works by building it. The neighbor had a substantial life change and sold me some parts that he intended to use for his next build. I was then sold a 12 bay hot swap server chassis, 4 generic 1tb ssds, LSI 9300-16i and 12 unopened renewed 8tb HGST Ultrastar. To that I an Asus B550 MB (has 2 nvme slots), a AMD Ryzen 5 5600G, 64gb of RAM and a 2tb nvme. I also have 2 1tb nvme drives from laptop upgrades. Hopefully that is enough background to get a discussion started. I think I am going to use the trash guides to start the setup. While I currently have a very limited NAS and plex setup, it is my hope to try to integrate the rrrs into this system down the road into this build with plex and single minecraft server. So the question is how would you utilize the available drives? Do I set up a cache with the 2tb for appdata and the 1 for something else? Do I set up mirrored 1tb for the appdata cache? Would the 4 1tb ssd have a beneficial use in the path I want to head down? Do I setup the 12 8tb as xfs with the 6 drives from the existing machine added to the array after the data has been transferred? Or Do I setup the 12 8tb drives as a ZFS pool and then the 6 drive as another ZFS pool after data move? Looking for a discussion as I'm not sure what to do.. Leaning towards the 2tb cache and XFS for all of the 8 drives. But open to hear others thoughts, even if its "sell that crap and buy ******" or "buy another 2tb nvme to mirror the appdata cache. I was also given a beast of a Dell 720xd with 12 4tb drives and 128gb of ram that is likely far too power hungry for anything I would be doing.
