Shares using cache pool when set to No

[rtgurley]

Running 6.11.1 but the issue has been ongoing for a while.

 

I have many shares set up to not use the cache pool.  I want Sonarr/radarr to immediately move the files from the downloads folder (Cache only) to the array.  Many times I see that some folders (TV/Classic TV/Movies) are being created on the cache drive and filling it up.  The only way to move the files off is to manually do it with UNBalance.  Then I use the 'rm' command to delete the folder from /mnt/cache, but it doesn't prevent the system from recreating the folder and filling up the drive again.  Do I need to change permissions somewhere to prevent Sonarr/Radarr from creating the folders over and over?

Check the mappings for Sonarr/Raddar, if they are using /mnt/cache/share instead of /mnt/user/share data will go to cache.

It is also possible you are falling foul of this behaviour (as described in the online documentation accessible via the ‘Manual’ link at the bottom of the GUI or the DOCS link at the top of each forum page).

This is what my setup looks like for both Radarr and Sonarr.  Would you recommend changing the downloads folder to be /mnt/cache/Downloads (not necessarily to fix this issue)?

I have various shares created based on types of TV show or movie.  Should they just be put in subfolders under the TV Share or Movie Share?

You mapped /mnt/user to /media.

If any folder is created in /mnt/user that will create a new share with default settings.

 

Usually you always want to map existing shares, not the root.
