June 24, 20224 yr I need to reorganize some files and folders in my primary array. The total amount of data that I need to move is way larger than my cache pool. If I move the files in Windows 10, will UNRAID consider those as "new" files and move them into the cache pool? If so, then I'm thinking that I might have to temporarily disable my cache pool. Would that be the best practice way to do this? I have to move the files in Windows 10, not using UNRAID. I am using a Windows 10 app to move "orphaned" movie files (.mkv, .srt, etc) into their own folders. Thank you!
June 24, 20224 yr Depends on what you mean by "move" and how you're moving them. If you're moving them between shares, and the destination share is use cache yes / prefer then it will wind up on the cache pool If you're moving within the same share, then the move is instantaneous and the file will stay on the exact same hard drive as the source. If you're using a so-called "rootshare", then the file will also always stay on the same drive.

June 24, 20224 yr Solution The above still applies - Within same share, the file stays on the same disk. Different shares the destination will follow the use cache rules on the destination. Using a rootshare file stays on the same disk
