Changing cache drive and new drive looks like it's not being written to.

[Chris Sanders]

I'm trying to change my cache drive and the new one doesn't appear to be writing to. I run a pool of 2 drives. I removed one of them after moving everything back to the array. I ran a pre clear on the new drive and added it. I then tried to move data back to the cache pool and only the original drive in the pool appears to be written to. Screenshot attached.

Please post the diagnostics.

Stop array, unassign cache1 (the Hitachi drive), start array, stop array, re-assign cache1, start array and post new diags.

Mover is still moving one dir back to cache. It will be a while. Do I need to move it back to the array before unassigning the cache1 Hitachi?

Nope, you can do it once the mover finishes.

You need to update to Unraid v6.11.3 first, there's a problem with v6.11.2 partitioning >2TB devices, after upgrading repeat the procedure above.

Thank you. That worked this issue out. It's odd to have a formatting problem on such a late build.

It is, but it seems that there was multiple factors in play :
