October 23, 20214 yr Hi, I think my Samsung 970 EVO 500GB cache drive is dying. I'm starting to have multiple random errors on my system such as:- Docker image becoming read only VM discs becoming corrupted Shares disappearing and reappearing on reboot. Dockers becoming unavailable, shutting down and not updating (Tautulli, & other stuff) ... probably same as 1. The S.M.A.R.T results for my cache drive are the only drive in my array thats showing errors (Its less than a year old):- Numb Err Log Entries = 172 Media Errors = 1 So heres my question:- Can i move everyting off of my cache drive and onto my array for a period of time (Until I can save for a new SSD) to be my system stable again and then move everything back to the array once i install a new one What would the steps be (Is it as simple as setting all of the shares to Cache:No) letting the mover do its thing and then continue that way Thanks D. neo-diagnostics-20211023-0836.zip Edited October 23, 20214 yr by Big Dan T

Change to either Cache:No or Cache:Prefer (to later automatically start using cache again when one is added). Details on getting files from cache to array are covered here in the online documentation that can be accessed via the Manual link at the bottom of the Unraid GUI. After doing that you can remove the cache
