Hello guys,

I have setup unraid server around 3 months .I am not sure how I get the memory log size up to 100%

the syslog.log file keep show Tower shfs: cache disk full

Please help.

Thank you

As you say, you filled cache and errors resulting from that filled log. The simplest way to clear log is to reboot since it is in RAM and will start over when you reboot.

 

Cache isn't currently full, but it does look like your appdata has overflowed to the array. When Mover runs it is going to try to put those back on cache where they belong, but since it can't move open files you will have to stop dockers to get it done.

 

You have a user share anonymized as m-------t that is currently set as cache-no, but all of its data is on cache. You must have changed it to cache-no, probably after filling cache with it. You must set it to cache-yes to get it moved to the array, then you can set it to cache-no after it is moved.

 

Why have you given 80G to docker.img? 20G is usually more than enough. I have 18 dockers and they use less than half of 20G. If you have been filling it making it larger isn't the way to fix that, it will just make it take longer to fill.

 

Go to Shares - User Shares and click the Compute All button at the bottom of the page. If it hasn't produced the results after several minutes you may have to refresh the page. Wait for the results then post a screenshot.

hi trurl,

thank for your help , I have attach the screencap for your reference

This is your minecraft share, and it has no data but its folder is still on cache. Any reason why you can't just delete that share?

 

What is the purpose of your Docker share, which also has no data?

 

Most importantly, why is your appdata so freaking huge??? Are you downloading into it or something?

Thank you so much for your assist 🤣.

I am new to unriad and docker , the minecraft share folder is I am trying to setup docker minecraft server.

I am using the appdata to store the camera record, Is it wrong to store the data under this path?

I am not sure about this operation is it right or wrong.

That isn't how I would do it for several reasons. It is making your appdata very large, appdata should stay on cache, which is why you have filled cache up, and appdata can be backed up with the CA Backup plugin in case you have some docker problems, but it would be an unnecessarily large and slow backup because you are putting all this data in it.

 

appdata is intended to be the working storage of your docker applications, such as where an application stores settings you have made within the application. Or for example, if you have plex, that is where plex would store its library which keeps track of your media, but the media itself would be in other shares.

 

Any actual data that an application writes that you want to have access to over the network or whatever should not be in the appdata share. I don't even put that share on the network since I don't want anyone to break anything in it.

 

Map that data path to another share, possibly create one just for it, make it cache-yes so new writes won't keep disks spunup but old data from it can get moved to the array.

 

Do you have any other dockers putting this kind of data within appdata?

 

It is going to take some manual work to get that camera data out of appdata and into some other share where it belongs. You should stop that application until you get that done and get it setup correctly. Then we can work on getting the rest of appdata moved back to cache where it belongs, and get your docker.img recreated at a more reasonable size.
