Erich Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 It seems when I invoke the mover to move data from the cache to the array, nothing actually happens. If I have 25GB on the cache and invoke the mover, there is no read/writes to the array and the 25 GB does not change. Is this something I should be concerned about? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Depends on what's on cache, enable the mover logging, run the mover and then post the diagnostics. Quote Link to comment
Erich Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 Ok, thanks. Here is the diagnostics. phoenix-diagnostics-20221003-1043.zip Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 It's not, try toggling it then applying. Quote Link to comment

When I add large vids or image data, (mostly vids) some of the files get stuck in the cache. It's always random files it selected. But I found if I pull from my backup and send just those files it will move them to the array. Please start you own thread. Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Now it's working, though not sure what files are these: Oct 2 16:00:01 Phoenix root: mover: started Oct 2 16:00:01 Phoenix move: file: //..g/... Oct 2 16:00:01 Phoenix move: move_object: //..g/... File exists Oct 2 16:00:01 Phoenix move: file: //..g/... Oct 2 16:00:01 Phoenix move: move_object: //..g/... File exists Oct 2 16:00:01 Phoenix root: mover: finished Go to shares click on "compute all" and post a screenshot of the results, we are only interested in any shares that are using cache.

Solution trurl Posted October 3, 2022 Solution Share Posted October 3, 2022 8 minutes ago, Erich said: screenshot of what is currently on the cache Those shares (appdata, domains, system) are set to prefer cache, which means keep them on cache and if any are on the array, move them to cache. And that is how you want those shares. You don't want them moved to the array. If those shares are on the array, docker/VM performance will be impacted by slower array, and array disks can't spindown because these files are always open. Quote Link to comment
Erich Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 Ok, got it. I think the data that was there (movie files) was moved eventually. I just didn't expect those shares (appdata, domains, system) to require that much space. Thank you. I really appreciate the help. Quote Link to comment
