bhman79 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 As the title states I'm seeing a lot going on with the array and cache drive. I've shut down all dockers and VM's and it doesn't solve the issue. These numbers are for the last 24 hours. I didn't get the cache in the screenshot, but it has 2.5M reads and writes. Any ideas? i Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 That suggests something is writing to disk2, start by posting the diagnostics. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 None of the usual suspect shares are on disk2 and there were no writes when the diags were saved, assuming no transfer to the array manually or the mover, is it still going up? Quote Link to comment
bhman79 Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 Yes, disk 2 writes are up to 80M. I have more free space on disk 2 now. It's almost like it's moving files around from disk to disk. I'm running a parity check to see if it finds anything. Quote Link to comment

That would cause writes to another disk, are you sure it's not the mover? Enable mover logging and check after the scheduled time. Quote Link to comment
bhman79 Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 I have the mover scheduled to run once at night. It shows that it's completed every morning, so I don't think that it's constantly writing to the array. I'll enable the logging to verify. Quote Link to comment

bhman79 Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 Parity check finished with no errors. I enabled mover logging. Ran mover. It moved over security camera files and completed. I reset the stats, so this is as of 2 hours ago. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Also install the open files plugin and see if that shows anything. Quote Link to comment
bhman79 Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 Looking at open files. Is it normal to have 15 nginx processes running? Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Again there's nothing writing to disk2 at the moment the diags were saved, are the stats always increasing or it's every few minutes or so? Quote Link to comment
bhman79 Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 The cache is writing constantly. Disk 2 seems to be all at once. Quote Link to comment
bhman79 Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 Also, my IPCam files are on a separate cache. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I cannot find anything in the diags, if open files doesn't help boot in same mode and stop docker and VMs services, not just the VMs/containers, failing that redo the flash drive. Quote Link to comment
bhman79 Posted August 4, 2023 Author Share Posted August 4, 2023 It seems that something is constantly writing to the cache drive, then mover is moving it to Disk 2. Looking at what data is on the disk, doesn't show anything modified today, so I can't figure out what it's moving. Quote Link to comment

bhman79 Posted August 7, 2023 Author Share Posted August 7, 2023 I checked the mover log for activity and didn't see anything unusual. I downloaded the File Activity plugin. It looks like some media files are showing an "Attrib" line. I'm also showing some .tmp files that are created, opened, modified, and then deleted. Not sure if that's normal. Quote Link to comment
