So I have a 1TB SSD and a 250GB SSD both installed in my unraid setup to be cache drives, but the combined size is 625GB for some reason.  Any one have any idea why?

Also, how would I removed the 250GB from the pool?   

They are now 80% full, and I have the MOVR set to run hourly, and even though I manually ran it, nothing is changing.

default is btrfs raid1, which is a mirror, so the combined size would only be 250GB, raid0 would give 500

 

To get the total capacity for different size with no redundancy you need to use Single mode.

THANKS!  Good to know.

 

I am trying to get all the files off the cache pool, but so far mover will only clear it down to 65% used.

Here is what I have tried:

I put all the shares to  YES 
Shut down dockers  (I don't have any VM's)
Ran mover, manually.  I have the mover tuning script, and I have tried everything I can think of with it, including disabling it, envoking mover and leaving the computer overnight)

I even did a shutdown, and scanned my USB stick for errors on another computer because I read someone saying that this solved their mover problems.

My question is:    Where is the mover log file?   I see the option to turn on loggin in the mover pluggin, but I'm not sure where to look for the log file.  I think that may be a good place to start.

Did you also disable the docker and vm services under Settings?   If they are left running they will hold files open which can then not be moved..

My VM manager under setting is set to "NO"

But yes, I tried changing enable docker to "NO"  when I left it overnight.

There is no separate log file.   The entries are written to the system’s syslog file like most other things that Unraid logs.

 

it might help if you gave a sample name of a folder that is not being moved?

Provided you have mover logging enabled in Scheduler
