Question regarding cache pool balance...

[Alyred]

Hi all, still looking into things and learning.

 

One of my cache pools shows the following:

 

Notably the no balance found, current usage ration at 49% with a full balance being recommended.  When I click on "Balance" it looks like it's starting, but then just refreshes back to the same screen telling me I need to do a full balance.  I've tried moving the small amount of stuff that lives on there off to the array, when the "current usage ratio" goes down to 0%.  When I move it back, it's back at 49%.

 

My other caches don't seem to have this issue. Is this something I'm fundamentally misunderstanding and is this something I don't need to worry about? Thanks.

 

Diagnostics attached.

The used space is currently so low, that it's not possible to balance any further, there's only 1 data chunk, they are 1GiB in size, and about half is being used, hence the 49%, you cannot have less than one data chunk so not possible to balance any further, so nothing to worry about.

Aha, got it.  Thank you!
