September 27, 20214 yr On trial version of unRaid 6.9.2 .. we installed 4 numbers of 10TB Seagate Exos drives ( 1 parity drive + 3 data drive ) and one Samsung 1TB 970 Pro as cache. in Windows network drive it shows size as 931GB ( 1 TB / TiB ) instead of 30 TB / TiB .. What is going wrong.? Edited September 27, 20214 yr by kalind
September 27, 20214 yr Solution I believe this is showing you what the size of the cache drive is. Anyone feel free to correct me on this. I do not see anything wrong with your setup, and will work as you expect it to. Note, you will be able to still write to the drive after the 1T, it will simply start to write to the array as the cache would be full.
September 27, 20214 yr Community Expert You have the share Project with a Use Cache setting of "prefer" which means you want it on the cache if space allows. The space available is calculated from all the drives that contain part of that share at the moment so if it is all on the cache it makes sense for it to be 1TB. If the share overflows so the array then the available space will include the array drive(s) BTW: If that is not where you expect the files for this share to be located then it is worth pointing out that there is a good summary of how the Use Cache setting works included in the GUI help and an even more detailed explanation in the online documentation that can be accessed via the Manual link at the bottom of the Unraid GUI.
