Hi so had to set up from scratch again but was able to find my backup so copied settings over and just wondered if these look right before i start to download anything else ?

Thanks

Yes, they look fine to me.

I have an observation, I assume that you are copying from a backup copy into the Shares--- files and Data.  If the amount of data to be copied is much larger than the cache_ssd, I would suggest that you set the Cache to "No" until you have the backup restored.  Otherwise, the cache will be filled up quickly and then several things will happen.  None of them should result in a data loss (If you have Minimum Free Space setup correctly) but there will be no time savings from using the cache.  (I can foresee a time loss if the mover tries to move files while the copy operation is writing directly to the array after the cache is full.) 

 

Second observation, consider setting the Tunable (md_write_method):    [   Settings   >>>   Disk Settings   ] to  "reconstruct write" as that will approximately double the speed of the array writes.   You can return the setting to "read/modify/write" after your data is restored.  (The "reconstruct write" will spin up all of the data disks until your data is copied back rather than just the parity disk and the disk being written to.)
