DangerYoshi Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I realized while looking at my shares that my appdata, which I only want on one cache drive used for plex metadata and appdata, is spread accross both the cache drive and disk1/disk2. I changed my cache drive settings to not use secondary storage, which I think I should have done from the very beginning, but now I'm not sure how to isolate the portions of the appdata spread across cache/disk1/disk2 to just the cache drive. It would not be very painful at this point in time if I just uninstalled the apps and deleted their directories in the disk1/disk2 portions, then reinstalled - or should I just copy that data over and then delete those directories? I've attached a few screenshots of what I'm talking about. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment
Solution itimpi Posted August 24, 2023 Solution Share Posted August 24, 2023 The correct process would be: set the cache as primary storage and secondary storage as the array. set the mover direction as array -> cache disable the docker and vm services under settings manually run the mover to get all the files transferred to cache when that completes remove the secondary storage option from the share re-enable the docker and VM services 1 Quote Link to comment

sanfark Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 If you were to only have one cache drive (say a 2TB NMVe) and eventually it fails 4 years later, how would you ensure that all your app data is not lost? Is there a way to have a second copy of it automatically somewhere? Or does everyone just run mirror raid for their cache? Quote Link to comment
