Cache disk full, docker corrupted

[henk1122]

Hi,

 

Sometimes when downloading a lot of torrents (or big ones) the cache disk can overflow. This is annoying ofcourse, however, the docker image keep corrupting due this and docker containers stop working. Is there any way to avoid this... Because this get a little bit frustrating.

Have you set a Minimum Free Space value for the pool that is designed to stop it getting too full.

Yes, this is set to 50gb. But a torrent can easily be 100gb claimed at once.

In that case I would suggest you do not use the cache pool for torrents, but create another pool dedicated to torrents.    This could probably be fine to use a HDD as the performance of a SSD is unlikely to be needed.

Ye I was afraid this was the only solution. Use no cache or a seperate SSD or a partition on the SSD.. 

SSD performance is needed tho for download speeds of 1gbit.

Do not see why.   A HDD that is not part of the array should be able to sustain this sort of speed without a problem - have you actually tested this?  It would have the advantage you could probably use a HDD that is much larger than your SSD but is now considered too small to use in the main array.
