Share data in cache, cache is not enabled.

[Richard Baguley]

Hey all I am setting up a new URNRAID server and am having an odd problem. I have created a share called Media, which has the cache disable as it will mainly be static files.

 

 

However, when I look at the data, some of it seems to be in the cache...

 

I'm a bit confused here. I turned the cache off just after the share was created and before I started copying data in there. I've looked at the cache drive itself, and the data is definitely there, and us unprotected. I can't manually trigger the mover because it says that cache is disabled. 

 

Any ideas? There is nothing irreplaceable in there, so I could just delete everything and start again.

Try setting the share to cache:yes, then run the mover. If you enable mover logging before you run it, you can see any error messages in the logs. If you can't figure it out from there, attach diagnostics to your next post and someone can take a look.

Hey, thanks for the tip. I did fix this with the mover, but I also had to disable docker and VMs before the mover would start, otherwise I got an error about cache not enabled. 

 

Still not sure how the stuff got onto the cache, but it has at least been moved now.

Make sure you update the share settings back to cache:no before any new data gets written to that share.
