Ahh that makes sense then. Would be nice if the above message had included that. Can it be changed after the cache is configured, when the array is offline or something ?

So, I have a server, with some shares. Those shares are set to use my cache SSD. In share settings -> use cache pool, I have set it to YES. YES states: Yes indicates that all new files and subdirectories should be written to the Cache disk/pool, provided enough free space exists on the Cache disk/pool. If there is insufficient space on the Cache disk/pool, then new files and directories are created on the array. When the mover is invoked, files and subdirectories are transferred off the Cache disk/pool and onto the array. Now i'm in the process of writing a lot of data to my share, my cache fills up, but it doesn't do as stated, it doesn't write the files directly to the share, it just fails with the error that there is insufficient space, Can anyone explain why ?

Yeah I found out about the rebuild. regarding the other disk, the SSD I wanted to use as cache, which had lvm's volumes, Unassigned Devices and Destructive mode, didn't work, it just said fail when trying. So I did the "easy thing". turned off the server. Attached the disk to a windows computer via USB started CMD, diskpart -> List disk -> select disk 1 -> clean And done, that ease in windows. I don't undestand why it is such a hassle in unraid.

I do, though so far I haven't put any data on the server. Parity is irrelevant, data safe keeping is irrelevant, I just want the 2 disks "deleted" erased, cleaned. like a Quick format in windows. But unraid fails to format the disks.

Isn't there and EASY way to clean a disk in unraid. ? I don't want preclear og checked or anything. I just want it stripped of partition layout. In windows you can use diskpart, and the clean disk. Very simple. Is there something similar in unraid.? The reason i'm asking, is because I'm trying to add two disks to my server, that has been used for something else. So now unraid fails to format the disks, because one of the disks contains some LVM partitions. The other, Unraid wants to start a 4-5 hours disk clear, totally unnecessary.

Nah, sadly not, the battery is fine. 3 days of no power cord plugged in, and the clock and every setting is still right. I just have, for some reason, a board that is totally unable to boot from USB. I can read from USB, I can write to USB, I can install other OS to SSD's and boot them. But I can't boot from USB at all. Which sadly makes unraid totally unusable for me, even though I would have loved to run unraid

Okay, this is something I have never seen before. Apparently my server has lost the ability to boot ANY USB at all. No matte the USB port I'm using, or what is on that USB, it wont boot. I does recognize the different USB's i'm putting in, but it wont boot. I've tried to clear the bios, load defaults and just about anything else I can think of, but nothing has helped anything. Seems I have a semi-dead motherboard, unable to USB boot

Same result, didn't work.

I am 100% sure it tries to boot on the USB. the server doesn't even support UEFI boot, it is an old board. the USB device is set as the ONLY boot device. It is ONLY unraid that gives me problems, if I flash the USB with anything else, like a windows installer, it works just fine.

Hi All, I am at a total loss here about what the hell is going on. Last week, on thursday, I fire back up my unraid server, which I hadn't been using for a while. I did a complete fresh reinstall of the USB, cleared all disks and so on. I had it up and running, made a cache pool, set up the disks in the array, addedd shares and so on. Copied some 700GB of data to the server, after the Parity sync was complete, which took som 10 hours or so. During all this, the server was rebooted a few times, without issue. Then I power down the server, and din't think more about it for a few days. Then sunday, I power back up the server, and it fails to start. It gives me the error: < Reboot and select roper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key > I have tried, 3 different USB sticks, same result. I have tried 2 different computeres, same result. I have tried to create the USB with the Unraids USB flash creator, same result. I have tried to create the USB on 2 different computers with the flash creator, same result. I have tried formating the USB sticks, download the Unraid zip installation, copy it to the USB, and run the "Make Bootable" as administrator, same result. What the hell is going on? Why am I totally unable to create a bootable Unraid installation all of the sudden ? My Server hardware, is a Supermicro Board H8SGL-F, AMD Opteron 6380 CPU, 128GB ECC Memory. I has been running without a problem for years, but now it, and other computeres I have, seems unable to boot ANY unraid installation ?

Hi Guys, I think I've looked everywhere and I can't seem to find the answer. Does the Supermicro MBD-H8SGL-F board support The AMD Opteron 6380 CPU ? If you have a link to confirm it, i would be happy

Hey Guys, thanks for the help, I think I found the solution that fits me. I will get the VMware tools plugin install in Unraid. Then I'll use a crontab job to initiate the shutdown. I found a site explaining how to set up a crontab job here: http://www.jules.fm/Logbook/files/add_cron_job_vmware.html That should hopefully take care of my "problem" Then I can schedule the poweroff and poweron in my smartplug

Hi Guys, I'm running my Unraid as a VM on ESXi, and I want to be able to schedule a daily shutdown of the server. The reason for that is that it uses quit alot of power, like about 175w when idle, and were I live 1kw costs about 0.34$ So running the server 24/7 would be almost 1.5$ a day I can Schedule a shutdown in unraid just fine, but how do I schedule a shutdown of the ESXi. I don't have vCenter, so it is just a single host. Is it even possible ?

Hi all, I seem to have a hard time grasping the concept of split level. I want to create a share called Movies, on that share I have a folder for each movie, in that folder is the movie file. on SOME of my movies there is a folder for Subs, where the subtitle file is. What split level would be right, so that I don't risk that the movie would be placed on one disk, and the subtitles on another

Hi all, I just looked at the plugin "fix Common Problems" and noticed this: >>>Your CPU is running constantly at 100% and will not throttle down when it's idle (to save heat / power). This is because there is currently no CPU Scaling Driver Installed. Seek assistance on the unRaid forums with this issue<<< I'm running with the ASUS KGPE-D16 with dual AMD Opteron 6380 It is virtualized on ESXI 6.7 Any idea where I can find and install that driver so I can save a bit on the powerbill ?
