[Cache Pool - Prefer - Greyed out / Unknown Encryption State]

We can add a fix for this in 6.10, however a workaround for you is to Stop the array and then edit the file:

'config/shares/domains.cfg'

 

find this line:

shareUseCache="prefer"

and change to:

shareUseCache="no"

 

You can edit the file by navigating to it via 'flash' share on your network, or open Terminal window and directly edit on the path:

'/boot/config/shares/domains.cfg'

 

Set the value exactly to all lower-case "no".

 

 

Done, thanks and it worked. Thanks

You have to stop the array to change that.

 

I believe that 'prefer' is the default setting even with no cache present.  It does no harm to leave it like that so that if you later add a cache the system automatically moves the share to the cache.

Thanks @itimpi - it looks like array must be online to edit the shares. 😕

Massive thanks! What about the 2nd part on the encryption state?

[Cache Pool - Prefer - Greyed out / Unknown Encryption State]

Hi everyone! I recently moved to a new NAS server moving all my drives over except my Cache drive as it was failing in the previous NAS. Here's what I'm seeing:

 

• I removed the Cache drive from the pool however still seeing "Prefer" in Cache Pool. I'm unable to change it as its greyed out. Any way to change that to "No"?
  
• "unknown encryption state
  

 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks everyone!
