When I had first setup the server, I didn't have a cache pool but had installed and used some docker containers. I recently upgraded and added cache pool. Currently I set the appdata, domains and system shares to Prefer:cache. I also set isos to Yes:cache. Is it normal to see empty isos and appdata shares on two of my array disks even after setting up cache pool?

 

Disk 1:
isos folder is empty

 

Disk 2: 
appdata has subfolders:
    airsonic > transcode
    swag > keys 

 

    Each of these subfolders are empty.

 

Disk 3: fine, no isos or appdata folders

 

Disk 4: fine, no isos or appdata folders

I can change the setting for the isos to only include Disk 4 but I'm wondering about the appdata folder on disk 2. Should it be there even though I have a cache pool?

 

Thanks

If you are sure your appdata folder on disk2 only contains empty folders then you can delete appdata folder on disk2. Your diagnostics shows isos on disk 1 and 2. Are you wanting to move it to disk4?

 

Go to User Shares, click Compute All, wait for it to complete. If you don't get complete results after a few minutes refresh the screen. Then post a screenshot.

You are right. There is a isos folder on both disk 1 and disk 2. Both of those are empty.  Yes I would like to keep them on one disk, disk 4.  

 

Attached is the screenshot of user shares.

You can delete the empty appdata and empty isos folders, and if you set isos to include disk4 any new files for that share will be created on disk4.

 

Do you know how to work with the disks directly?

Thanks for confirming.

 

Yes, I use mc to edit files on the disks.

In mc, I'm seeing these types of files 

 

under disk2/appdata/arisonic/transcode

     !ffmpeg

     !flac

     !lame

 

under disk2/appdata/swag/keys

     !letsencrypt

 

Can I still just delete the appdata from disk2 or do I need to move those files over to the cache first?

 

See screenshot for comparison of what on disk2 vs what s on cache drive.
