Recomended Appdata Cache configuration

[Duarte]

Hi all,

 

I'm a long time unraid user but i'm using a cache drive for the first time and i'm not sure if i'm using the recomended configuration for appdata because i'm getting the warning "some or all file unprotected":

 

 

I just have 1 one cache drive and previously the appdata was in the array. This is the reason for the warning?

 

The system share as a warning also and it is set with array->cache option. Is the same case?

 

Thanks in advance.

If your cache pool is a single drive then it is expected that the appdata share will show as some or all files unprotected as the cache has no redundancy if it is a single drive pool  The whole idea of keeping appdata on the cache is to maximise performance and to avoid spinning up array drives unecessarily.   You want to install the Appdata Backup plugin to make regular scheduled backups to the main array,

 

Note that you also want to make sure the System share is also on the cache drive for best performance.

And the best configuration for appdata is Array->Cache or Cache->Array?

You normally want array->Cache as you get better performance if the files are on the cache.
