cache not working as i thought!


Recommended Posts

i build a new system with 5 x 8TB in a non parity array.
2 x 500GB SSD as Cache ( showing only as 500GB ) 

Shares are Movies & TVShows ( set as highwater min 100GB free auto split in top layer & top two layer for TVShows )
both shares have cache disabled now.

2 x 8TB NTFS disks mounted as Unassigned Devices full with Shows and Movies.

installed krusader to move files from NTFS to array, but here it fails.
its fills up disk 1 and stops all transfers.
its like it dont see the other drives.

what do i do ?
what have i done wrong ?

Not clear what your post has to do with the Subject of cache since you said you aren't using it. 

 

On mobile now so can't look at Diagnostics yet. 

 

Krusader and other software will start copy by creating all the empty folders first, then it will fill those folders with the files. Since the empty folders don't take much space, another disk never gets chosen for them, and then all the files go to those folders. 

 

One solution is to do smaller batches so another disk can be chosen for the next batch. 

 

When I had this problem with rsync loading my backup server I noticed it was going in alphabetical order so I just started at the end of the alphabet and moved some empty folders to other disks.
