bthoven Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I've operated Unraid for almost a year now without problem. Now I run Unraid latest version, 6.11.3. I have one user share folder, named "unraid_shared", which I defined parameter "Use Cache Pool=Prefer" when I created it. Since its creation, I believe the same folder are in both the Cache drive and Disk1 drive, which is normal because when I create a new file/subfolder inside the unraid_shared folder, it will be stored in Cache first, and it will be automatically moved to Disk1 later, if necessary? Since the day before, my unraid_shared folder on Disk1 became just a flat file named unraid_shared (size 517b), while the unraid_shared folder on Cache drive is still intact and seems to contain all subfolders/files. I don't know what has happened. Is there any way to have the unraid_shared as a folder on my Disk1 again? Can I simply delete the flat file unraid_shared from Disk1, and Unraid OS will re-create the same folder in Disk1 automatically? The reason I found this problem because I have a user script scheduled to run every day. It's supposed to create a new file every day in unraid_shared folder. In the script I refer to the folder location as /mnt/user/unraid_shared, which is located is on Disk1. As now such folder on Disk1 became just a flat file named user_shared, so the script can't find such folder, thus terminated. Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 The Prefer setting means you WANT the share to end up on the cache drive. There will only be a folder on the main array if part of the share is not on the cache. The help built into the GUI explains the settings. Quote Link to comment
