Cache Drive - Files Changed / deleted


Go to solution Solved by trurl,

hi, I am thinking of building an unRaid box and have a question I can’t really find an answer to, maybe its too obvious…

If I overwrite/change a file will the original still be on the array until the mover moves it of the cache drive?

Same question if I delete a file, will it delete the file immediately or just make a note to delete the file the next time the mover is running?

You shouldn't think of cache as temporary storage. Cache is just the default name of a (fast) pool separate from the parity array. More than one pool can be setup, each can have multiple disks, and each can be named as you wish. 

 

Each user share has settings that control how and which pool it uses if any. New files for a share may be written to its pool and moved between pool and array depending on those settings.

 

Files on pool are considered part of the share, so wherever a file already exists is where it will be deleted or modified.
