Andiroo2 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 My movies folder is set to use cache (cache:yes) until cache hits 90%, then mover runs. I’d like to move most of my Christmas movies back to the cache while they are in demand and save my array from spinning up. Can I move files BACK to the cache without forcing the whole share to Cache:Prefer? My cache is a raid1 pool, so I’m not concerned about protection for the files. Quote Link to comment

You can manually, to use the mover you'd need to move the complete share or create a new one for those movies. Quote Link to comment
Andiroo2 Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 Do I MV the files to /mnt/cache/<share>/ or CP them? Is that the correct path I should be targeting? When I want them to go back to the array, do I run mover, or MV/CP them pack to /mnt/disk#/<share>/? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Move (or copy but then the mover won't move them back, it won't move existing files, you'd need to delete them manually when not needed) using disk paths to avoid issues, e.g. /mnt/disk1/share to /mnt/cache/share, you can also use /mnt/user0/share to /mnt/cache/share, never use /mnt/user/share to /mnt/cache/share. 6 minutes ago, Andiroo2 said: When I want them to go back to the array, do I run mover This, as long as the use cache setting is correctly set. 1 Quote Link to comment
