July 19, 20232 yr Unraid version- 6.12.2 No plugins or addons Hardware- Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. A520M-A PRO (MS-7C96) , Version 1.0 American Megatrends International, LLC., Version 1.C0 BIOS dated: Mon 6 Mar 2023 12:00:00 AM PST AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core @ 3600 MHz Corsair - Memory: 32 GiB DDR4 Parity - Seatgate Iron Wolf 12tb Disk 1 -Seagate Iron Wolf 12tb Disk 2 and 3 both- WD RED NAS 4tb Cache- Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 250 GB Flash- Cruzer Glide 30.8 GB I already created some shares and just copied over from old NAS cloud server direct to my new Unraid disks, but the option to "Use Cache" is not available on the shares tab so down the road reading and writing could be better (right?). See screen print below. On a second note- I can't figure out how to turn the appdata, domains, system from Orange Triangle warnings (aka unprotected) to Green I am new to unraid, trying to get away from my WD My Cloud Ultra since WD has lost my trust. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

July 19, 20232 yr Author Appreciated the link, and I did read that the other day, then read again today. I still don't understand. So the "Use Cache" was removed in this version? So all the things I've found on the web and a book I read (Digital Fort Knox) in how to set up my shares are now Moot with that step removed? Maybe I don't understand then. I simply want to move my current WD Mycloud EX2 Ultra files(Music, Documents, Videos, Photos, etc) over to the Unraid server- and I have done some of that already, withouth the cache. My understanding is files should move to Cache first, then it writes it to whatever drive you have specified. If that option is not there, how would I now set up my shares so when I move (in this case I'm copying to be safe) the files it writes to cache first? Again, i've read through that link and likely I'm just ignorant on the subjects. Or does it not matter? Eventually the idea is to move my Plex stuff to the drives/unraid, and have access in the network to stream both in and out of network. Sorry to be so detailed, maybe I am over complicating and cache doesn't matter, so why even have cache?

Select the correct pool as the primary storage, the array as secondary storage and mover action from pool to array, that 's the same as the old cache=yes.
