March 4, 20215 yr Hi, In front of each of the names of my user shares, I have an orange triangle indicating that I'm not protected. What parameter should I adjust ? And another question, "Compute all" button is for what? Thank,
March 4, 20215 yr Compute all simply calculates the total size of the data on each share. Unprotected means that there is data that is not protected by the parity array, meaning it hasn't been copied to the array for parity calculation.
March 4, 20215 yr Author What is the Mover ? Before I used the cache, but some (especially large) files remained there. So I disabled it.
March 4, 20215 yr It is possible that some shares are not correctly configured as for cache use. Can you attach your diagnostics in your next post ? (tools / diagnostics)
March 4, 20215 yr Community Expert There do seem to be some anomalous share settings: Share anonymised as T-----s has files on cache but Use Cache=No which means they never get moved off Share anonymised as S-----s has files on cache but Use Cache=No which means they never get moved off Share anonymised as M-----a has files on cache but Use Cache=No which means they never get moved off You might want to look at the help built into the GUI to see how the Use Cache setting affects whether files get moved between array and cache.
March 4, 20215 yr Author I just looked with Krusader, and the directories are there, but there are no files. I remember seeing this with "Fix common problems" Edited March 4, 20215 yr by Jobine
March 4, 20215 yr Community Expert If you are sure the directories are empty then you can simply delete them off the cache drive. Their presence is likely to make the shares be marked as unprotected. there is also a share anonymised as S——e that is on the cache - is this where you want it to be?

Compute... for a specific share does the same but just for that share.
March 4, 20215 yr Community Expert Also note that appdata, domains, and system shares are normally kept on cache permanently for better performance of dockers/VMs and so array disks can spin down since these shares will always have open files. But, your system share also has files on the array, perhaps because you enabled Docker before installing cache. On Main, click on the folder icon for Disk1 at the far right under the VIEW column, then on that page, click on system in the NAME column and post a screenshot of that page.

The 3 anonymized shares are cached and empty.

All my appdata are on the cache. I don't understand... Here's the screenshot. Thank,
March 4, 20215 yr Author When deleting empty directories, most of the icons turned green. There remains Appdata, Share and System.
March 4, 20215 yr Community Expert Any shares that have any folders or files on the cache will show as unprotected if you only have a single drive in the pool (or you have multiple drives and have switched the pool to the btrfs single profile).

OK, we need to go down another level into that docker folder in your screenshot. 2 hours ago, trurl said: On Main, click on the folder icon for Disk1 at the far right under the VIEW column, then on that page, click on system in the NAME column then, click on docker in the NAME column and post a screenshot. If you know how to get to the command line let me know and we can get the answers I'm looking for with just a few commands.
March 4, 20215 yr Author and i know how get to the command line. (>_ top right ?) Is there a way to move docker.img to cache? and put everything back in the right place? Edited March 4, 20215 yr by Jobine
March 4, 20215 yr Author Appdata Files in /mnt/cache/appdata and /mnt/user/appData seem similar For my dockers, I replaced the path /mnt/user/appdata for /mnt/cache/appdata Share OK, just deleted, nothing important there. System How I can move docker.img from there ? Thank,
March 5, 20215 yr Community Expert 2 hours ago, Jobine said: Files in /mnt/cache/appdata and /mnt/user/appData seem similar They are not just similar, they are exactly the same files. The user shares are just the aggregated top level folders on cache and array. Different views of the same files. 2 hours ago, Jobine said: System How I can move docker.img from there ? Do you mean your docker.img is on disk1?
March 5, 20215 yr Author Can I stop the Docker. (Setting, docker, Enable docker OFF, Apply) Modify the - Docker vDisk location: /mnt/user/system/docker/docker.img --> /mnt/cache/system/docker/docker.img (don't exist on cache drive) - Default appdata storage location: /mnt/user/appdata/ --> /mnt/cache/appdata/ (exist on cache drive) Thank,
March 5, 20215 yr My solution would be : Stop Docker through Settings Stop VMs through Settings (if applicable) Go to Shares Set appdata, system and domains to Prefer : Cache Run the Mover Once everything is moved, restart Dockers and VMs. Enjoy.
March 5, 20215 yr After stopping the service, delete the existing one (hit delete) before carrying on.
