Cache disk ?

[BobNik]

Hi,

have some questions about cache disk and how is set for me. It is probably an easy fix but I just don't see it right now.

 

Quick background: 

Recently added a cache drive with the idea of keeping the plugins/app there. Before that I installed Community App plugin. Now I see on my data disk:

Disk5:

Movies

Isos

system

    docker

        docker.img (21.5 GB)

 

and on the share disk:

Share:

appdata

domains

system

    docker

    libvirt

       libvirt.img (1.1.GB)

 

I expected to see 'isos' and 'system' folders from Disk5 on cache only and disk5 to have only my media data. Am i missing something? Or, how to accomplish that if my thinking is correct? Dont think just copying the folders to cache disk will do any good.

Any help?

 

At the same time in the log I saw the confusing line:

Dec 21 03:40:01 Tower root: mover: started
Dec 21 03:40:01 Tower move: move: skip /mnt/disk5/system/docker/docker.img
Dec 21 03:40:01 Tower root: mover: finished

How to read these line?

 

Appreciate any help/suggestions for both issues.

 

Thanks in advance

Bob

You have to set a share to cache-prefer to get it moved to cache. And mover can't move open files so you will have to go to Settings and disable Docker and VM Manager until they get moved.

Thanks,

docker.img is now moved to the cache disk.

After the move I modified Docker vDisk location: /mnt/cache/system/docker/docker.img and Default appdata storage location: /mnt/cache/appdata/

Think that settled it however 'isos' folder is still on data disk and not on share. Any comment?

I think that folder normally just has the installation files for VMs and isn't accessed regularly.
