Hi everyone! I recently moved to a new NAS server moving all my drives over except my Cache drive as it was failing in the previous NAS. Here's what I'm seeing:

 

  • I removed the Cache drive from the pool however still seeing "Prefer" in Cache Pool. I'm unable to change it as its greyed out. Any way to change that to "No"?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks everyone!

You have to stop the array to change that.

 

I believe that 'prefer' is the default setting even with no cache present.  It does no harm to leave it like that so that if you later add a cache the system automatically moves the share to the cache.

Thanks @itimpi - it looks like array must be online to edit the shares. 😕

We can add a fix for this in 6.10, however a workaround for you is to Stop the array and then edit the file:

'config/shares/domains.cfg'

 

find this line:

shareUseCache="prefer"

and change to:

shareUseCache="no"

 

You can edit the file by navigating to it via 'flash' share on your network, or open Terminal window and directly edit on the path:

'/boot/config/shares/domains.cfg'

 

Set the value exactly to all lower-case "no".

Done, thanks and it worked. Thanks :)
