Cache Drive Keeps Hitting 100%

Featured Replies

For some reason I keep getting warnings that cache drive is filling up.  I will see notifications with the % counting up and finally hitting 100%.  I usually notice this hours after it happened, at which point it is down to the 60% full it normally is.  It is a 240GB SSD if that makes a difference.

 

I don't know how to find what is filling up the drive and what causes it to empty again.  The mover is scheduled to run hourly.

Only appdata, domains, system shares currently have any files on cache, and that is where those belong. Since those are taking all but 86G of cache, you only have room to cache 86G of user share writes.

 

You can set Minimum Free for cache by clicking on cache to get to its settings. If cache gets below Minimum Free, Unraid will choose an array disk instead (overflow) when writing cache:prefer or cache:yes shares. You currently have no Minimum set. You should set that to larger than the largest file you expect to write to cache. You want to be careful you don't fill cache to corruption.

 

Each user share also has a Minimum Free that works in a similar manner. If an array disk has less than Minimum, Unraid will choose another array disk.

Stop the array to change

Thanks - I don't know why I didn't think of that or that the help text didn't state that the value couldn't be changed with the array running.
