unraiduser83332 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I'm new to unraid, but have installed a 500GB SSD for Cache. I setup a new share with my disks and the SSD was immediately filled. There are a ton or warning saying that the SSD Cache is full, but when I try to mover nothing happens. I've tried changing it to hourly, and manually selecting "move" but nothing happens. I've looked at lots of forum posts with the same issue, but none of the solutions work. I tried the Mover Tuning plugin and nothing changed. I also saw a post that said you can fix it but it's not in the GUI, then the instructions aren't clear how to fix it if you're not familiar with making changes outside the GUI. Am I doing something wrong or is this a common issue? Quote Link to comment

unraiduser83332 Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 Double checked all these setting, and all were correct. Still full and not moving. I'll upload the diag. tower-diagnostics-20210621-1420.zip Quote Link to comment

For some reason I thought I have to have it half the size of the largest files (so maybe 300GB). It does seem to be moving now though! Can you help me understand why that was stopping it? Also THANK YOU! This is very helpful Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Twice the size of largest file is often recommended. I recommend not caching for files as large as you say you have. Unraid has no way to know how large a file will become when it chooses a disk for it. If a disk has more than Minimum, the disk can be chosen and if the file won't fit the write fails.

unraiduser83332 Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 I changed these and the mover started to work but only moved 40 of 400GB of data from the Cache to the Array, now the Cache is stuck still being mostly full. Mover says it's running but no data is moved. Any ideas why this is still not moving over? Quote Link to comment

Difficult to say, you can go to the Scheduler and enable the Mover logging. Then launch the Mover if it is not running. After some time, you can analyze the log to see what is happening or create a new diagnostics to share here for help. Quote Link to comment
